The Liz Manifesto
- I am a writer who uses the language to paint and to play word music, places my heart and head in the spaces, and writes in the hope that one person is better for having read what I wrote.

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.
Mike
ME Strauss said
Hey Mike,
The most profound sentence in that comment you wrote . . . “as a writer I know.”
yep!
Mike said
I hope you didn’t think I was calling you a church picnic soup. ;-}
No comments in 11 hours? Is everyone out enjoying spring or something?
Mike said
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!
Mike
ME Strauss said
Hey Mike!
I only meant that you were enjoying the ceertainty of a writer.
Great stuff a writer has to when thing are truly right.
Mike said
Truer words were never uttered inside my computer. Take the rest of the night off!
Mike
ME Strauss said
Hi Mike!
If I take the rest of the night off . . .will it be day then?
Mike said
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!
Mike said
..,If you HAVE Super Vision…
ME Strauss said
You wouldn’t believe how blinding it is.
Mike said
Glad you like it!
(And while I’ll remind you later this week, I have faith in you! [Free sample] LOL
Mike
ME Strauss said
I was thinking about that this morning, wondering how I was going to put that into my power point
Mike said
Sorry for the awful punctuation, and the comment hogging.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
ME Strauss said
HI Mike!
I didn’t notice any punctuation gaffes. Did you make one?
Happy May 5 to you as well!
Mike said
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.
Ziggy Stardust said
Ground Control to Major Liz,
What jpg?
Ziggy
ME Strauss said
Sorry Ground Control I emailed it inside your last comment as a response.
Ziggy Stardust said
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.
Mike
ME Strauss said
Hey Ziggy,
Shirley Temple has nothing on me!
Ziggy Stardust said
Amen to that!
I reiterate line 2 of comment 19.
And of course, I have faith in you, Liz!
ME Strauss said
I put my faith in you, Ziggy boy!
That’s how I got on this spaceship.
