Hi Alan, As in the past, I enjoyed your comments. I'm curious about you were able to make the choice to part ways with the crutches of avoidance and the masker. I understand that you wanted to be independent but was there something about the timing of your choice that got you to taking the necessary risks. Was it some combination of age and experience (and wisdom), self-study, support of others. I guess I'm asking you to go a bit deeper to explain your ability to reconstrue yourself at that point in 2000 when you made these decisions.
