    Boo Yah!!!!

    When you can’t keep it in, no matter what others are saying, you’re there.

    “We live in categories. We learn from events.”

    The most profound two sentences I’ve written. Period. I I knew it when I typed them. You’re scratching your head because you don’t have the context, but as a writer I know. Check me Monday for the rest.

    I hope you didn’t think I was calling you a church picnic soup. ;-}

    Liz,

    Touche (as always)! I solved a riddle I’ve been pondering for two years last night. It’s both exhilirating (finally and eureka) and frustrating (how could I not have seen it for so long). But you know me; I’m a finally and eureka kind of guy! Thus the boo yah!

    Of course, with a gorgeous sunrise over Lake Michigan. If you Super Vision, granite sand grains on the Michigan dunes glint like diamonds. Can’t beat that for a view!

    Sorry for the awful punctuation, and the comment hogging.

    Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

    HI Mike!
    I didn’t notice any punctuation gaffes. Did you make one? :)

    Happy May 5 to you as well!

    Why yes I did. All LISP programmers know that not closing a parenthesis will cause an interpreter error.

    As for comment 12, I had planned to send you a jpg to cover that this week.

    ME Strauss said

    Uh-oh a comment 12 response. I hope it doesn’t make the jpg I just sent you implode.

    @ everyone you’ll get to see these jpgs when I releseae my slides from SOBCon. :)

    You rock, Liz!

    That’s going to send a shockwave through the hall!

    I guess that makes you the new “she who must not be photoshopped”! LOL

    G’night, and thanks for sharing that. I still owe you a jpg.
