drose is a 40 yr. old father (and parent!) of three incredibly normal
children. He has spent the better part of his free time (?) studying as
much as he can of what he didn't learn in school. Which is more than he
can ever hope to learn, because if he continues his present diet and
level of inactivity he will soon have collected enough cholesterol to
clog his arteries several times over.
A jack-of-all-trades, he is, as are most non-specialists, depressingly
middle-class. It keeps him humble, although he has a sneaking suspicion
that he would probably make a great world leader. He loves riding
motorcycles and has largely overcome a misspent youth; he still
maintains one or two vices for old times sake. Being a Hoosier, he is,
almost by definition, also an avid basketball fan.
Life is good.
He was introduced to ZMM by his father in '77 and finally "got it" in
'80 when, having nothing better to do following knee surgery, he finally
paid attention to the darned book. He has made it a point to read it
annually ever since, usually in the spring. His oldest daughter found a
copy of LILA at a library book sale and, after reading it, drose decided
to search the Web to see if there were others who were impressed with
the work of Mr. Pirsig.
He now spends many delightful evenings lurking, and occasionally
posting, sometimes driving his long-suffering wife to distraction. The
Lila Squad has been the source for much food for thought. He thanks you
all!
