Only dude on Poly to ever totally pwn me in an argument.

Then again, I was talking about **** in his wheelhouse (transportation economics) and was being overly certain of myself.

I used to ride him pretty hard about econ not being a real science and the difference between a Nobel Prize and the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economics in memory of Alfred Nobel. He usually took it pretty well, but I think one time I managed to actually piss him off with that.

I'm sad he's not around any more. I think I would have much more fruitful discussions with him today.

Yes, he was both a kindly soul and good on micro-econ. Plus he had high opinion of Ron Braetigan (who was also very well loved AND smart), who tought me quick micro company class. And yes, you know a lot now and would have fruitful conversations with him. I'll see if I have his number and invite him.

Also, at the soiree, remind me, and I just want to see if you're interested in some certain fields (no push and you may have already considered them, just want to make sure you aware.)

[KrazyHorse]

I would appreciate that greatly.

[TCO]

He's invited (message left by emails and with the missus at his house.)

[KrazyHorse]

I meant appreciation on second part, but I appreciate that as well.
