Jason,
I was trying not to flaunt the Jason love too much.

T Scott,
I am from the South and formal address, like Ms. and Ma’am, are pretty normal. Once I reached a certain age, around 18 or so, I started getting the ma’am and ms. I am mostly used to it now though I admit I sometimes think “who, me?”. Especially if I get the Mrs. because I am not used to that at all.

But doesn’t it feel a little weird to see yourself referred to so solemnly as “Ms. Boule”? I still have to suppress the instinct to turn around and see who they’re really talking to every time one of the med students refers to me as “Mr. Plutchak.” (Who you callin’ “Mister” punk!)

I’m now downgraded to “a friend”? Or did you think name-dropping me twice in 2 days might raise some eyebrows?

Seriously, congrats!

I’m just surprised it took The Chronicle so long to get wind of your wonderfulness.
