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.

Me 1.2 1965-1973. M/M Stevens and family
Me 1.3 1971-1996 DuPont years

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.
