the transformation is complete---

---after 5 years of brain-numbing research (and I can't stress the "RE" enough), I defended my thesis last Thursday and finished the PhD that's kept me here late many, many nights when I should have been working on the 02.

So to those of you who have in some measure been of assistance in general (especially with regard to my '73 - my brother Tim, my intrastate comrades Paul W, Matt S, Tim in MD, Bill Williams to mention the most frequently burdened with my questions and pleas for help) and those who I've had the pleasure of meeting around the Mid-Atlantic region (esp Dan and Dave Redman, The Rigmaster himself, and many I am currently forgetting), it would have been a real bitch not having a habit like the 02 when work was no fun.

To the rest of you all who have been generally helpful and supportive, even in the slightest, there is always a supporting cast to prop up any achievement - so thanks to you all for many hints, tips, insight, and good humor.

And to anyone who's been a pain in my ass, now you have to call me "DOCTOR Asshole"!!!

Thanks a million, y'all. Now I look forward to having TIME to work on the 02 again!

Now you can get back to the things that really matter, like working on your 02. What's your field?

I know how hard a PhD can be, my dad has been working on his for over 14 years, mainly because he hasn't had a lot of time. I on the other hand am not even close, don't even have a 2 year degree yet, I go back to school next year to get that finally.

Oh, you could now be Dr. 02!

Thesis defense sounded good to me, had no idea what you were talking about but was convincing.

;-)

Congrats again!

My daughter will finish her BS in Biology next year and wants to continue on in the same field you did with a final goal of teaching. She was up until 2 AM last night studying for an Organic Chemistry test.

Hopefully you can get some sleep now!

after the PhD! Congratulations, I know its a tough slog.
