Chris Cree and Liz Converse and Conspire

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 8:42 am

I agree
Last night I had dinner with Chris Cree. What a thrill that was. It reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.

People from the same family are rarely born under one roof. Richard Bach, Illusions

That’s how the conversation felt from the first word to the last. The food was excellent, as was the company.

We talked about life, work, family, and philosophy. We talked about times when we feel sorry for ourselves. I told him the best cure for that was Phil Gerbyshak. To prove it, we called up Phil and Chris only had to hear his voice to see what I meant.

Then Chris and I did some conspiring about Successful-Blog. Yep. We came up with a really cool idea or two — ways to broaden the scope and depth, to offer more, and more fun to readers. I’ll be announcing what’s happening in a day or so . . .

Meanwhile this morning, I went back to find the first comment that Chris left on this blog. Here it is.

. . . It doesn’t matter if the conversation ends up being about work. The take-away is that it is about making a connection. If a connection is made, it will most likely help work too.

Talk about a simple yet powerful tool to hang on our belts! Thanks. –Chris Cree, comment on “Better Than Hi! How Are Ya?” April 25, 2006

I guess that kind of explains everything.

    I’m laughing. Take it from me Chris. We were conspiring. I got a call from the National Enquirier this morning and another from the CIA. :)

    I’m using the Bart Simpson defense: “No body saw me. They can’t prove a thing.”

    I think you’re right. I think I was laughing too much to be conspiring.

    You do bear a slight resemblance to Mr. B. Simpson in the way that you consume those Klondike bars. Hmmmm.

    Liz,
    It is funny that you mentioned the book: Illusions. It just happens to be one of my all time favorites. I love that book and it opens with a passage about Indiana.

    Rodney,
    Blogger Synchronicity!!!

    I’ve probably given 25 copies of that book away. It’s the only Richard Bach book I recommend. It’s on my Amazon feature page.

    Have you seen that they came out with a copy of the Messiah’s Handbook a couple of years ago. What took them so long to figure out that people would buy that too?
