And it sort of just became, for a while, this weird story in a closet.
And if I met interesting people, I might share it under the right circumstances.

Oh, you just had a weird waking vision.
And, you know, and maybe all that's true.
But my subjective experience is what it is.
And no one can convince, I don't, on some level, I didn't need anybody to confirm it, but I wanted someone to share how crazy this was.
And I just never had it for a long time.
The thing that comes closest to a confirmation came a couple years later, probably 2009.
So years later, the person who would become my wife, my then girlfriend, I am taking her home to visit my parents for the very first time.
And, you know, this is an important meeting.
I know that we're serious, et cetera, et cetera.
And we're in the house and it's like the second or third day that she's just staying.
And, you know, I lived in New York at the time.
I think she lived in Chicago at the time, my girlfriend.
And we were back on Bainbridge Island visiting my parents for a couple, for like a weekend.
