Hmmm.....I think in this instance, I was aiming at very good. I feel an urge to pull out my hair, as I'm faced with Pirsig's whole dilemma on "quality." Ah well, there's nothing for it but to soldier on. Night-night time now. More later as events warrant.

Yep. It's gonna be great, I tell you. Great.
