Who are these Me x.y people?



Gentle readers,

I sometimes loosely refer to myself as Me4.0 or 2.0 or whatever.  Having some roots in the scientific tradition it occurs to me that I should identify the naming convention that I use, which is quite strict, so that you the intrepid reader will know which me is which.

The nutshell version is simple:  each major surgery takes "Me" up one full "version", e.g. 3.0.  Other events in between may or may not be represented as incremental upgrades, e.g. 3.1.

For the record, my reconstruction of version numbers is as follows:


Ross Stevens’ timeline

Me 1.0.                   November 29 1943. Wilmington/Seaford Delaware.
Me 1.1.                   1957-1970. Aiken (SC) high school, Georgia Tech, Purdue U
Me 1.2                    1965-1973. M/M Stevens and family
Me 1.3                    1971-1996 DuPont years
Me 1.4.                   1996-2002 Stevens Associates
Me 1.5                     2003 Retirement
Me 2.0                    BS#1 December 7, 2011 GBM (glioblastoma) resected (Weingart, Hopkins)
Me 2.1                    31 December 2011 blackout. Fall. Hematoma abcess
Me 3.0                    January 10 2012 hematoma abcess repair. (Giberson, Christiana Care)
Me 3.x                     January- August recoveries, radiation, chemo, PT, life
Me 4.0                    BS#2 17 September 2012  second resection. Cleaned cavity walls. (Weingart, Hopkins)

PS:  We had a wonderful weekend  cousinly wedding in Greensboro NC.  Fairly long drive back, but the traffic wasn't bad, and neither was the rain.
