The Dance

While working in Reno for 8 months, I grew tired of being away from home. Also, I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay in my blue collar job. Taking a leap of faith, I quit and moved back to San Francisco. On my first weekend home, I went to a party at a South of Market warehouse where some friends were throwing a party. It was a rainy night and expectations were low. While talking with a high school friend, I noticed a beautiful girl walking by. My friend encouraged me to go talk to her, but I wasn’t ready. A few minutes later, my conversation was interrupted and that very same girl had walked up to me and she said, “Excuse me, would you like to dance?” I replied, “I’d love to”, and that was the start of our DANCE that still continues today…
