		Still, on March 7th, I took a profoundly important leap that I was completely unsure I was ready for.
		I was going to meet two very dear friends, Dave (who I’d never met before) and Michele (who I’d met for the first time just weeks before), and I was going to spend the day with them at the Tower of the Americas in downtown San Antonio’s Hemisfair Park.
		They were the first—and remain the only—friends that I’d met face-to-face in over four years, and this was the first time in an even longer period that I’d gone somewhere like this—somewhere outside the well-worn groove of those few places that felt familiar.
