[MD] question: MOQ, Pirsigism, passionate emotion

[david buchanan]

That's right, Doc. As you'll see, I thank you on the acknowledgments page of my thesis. I refer to you as my "role model" and "partner in crime". Phrasing it that way does two important things. It's a self-serving promotion beyond my role as President of the Anthony McWatt fan club to the rank of full-fledged co-conspirator AND it puts a lot of pressure on both of us not to commit any actual crimes. ;-)
It's gonna be fun.

Then I met McWatt and Pirsig and it dawned on me how much that would be. That was six years ago, I just finished school and it surely has been fun so far.
