Did you ever get your kids to try the mayo sandwich?

reply to this comment

Ed Williams Mar 14, 2009, 6:11am EDT

Linda, they are here tomorrow and will see all the comments then. If they live up to their promise to me, they'll soon after try their first mayo sandwiches, I'll let y'all know how it goes!

And Fancy - I delivered as promised, a blank for today's article!

Smoochies,

Maybe next time you draw a blank, you could put a border around it?

Or lay down several empty lines on the page so we could read between them!

Ed Williams Mar 14, 2009, 6:49am EDT

Stuart, I'll consider it, but I'm not too good with graphics, as you can see from the above the written word is my specialty.....

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (Wake up!)

This is the best blank screen I have ever seen. I gave it a 10. Don't put a border around it...remember, less is more. Its so riveting that I don't want to leave for work at the museum to accession items into the collection.

Blank is good,
Blank is fine,
Beats predictable content,
All the time!

Bethie, you know, we might be in the process of setting the world's Gather record for most views of a blank page - think of how proud we'll all be!

P.S. Trace, I promise I'll be more succinct next time out...

Blank pages give you so much more to think about --some less.

Hang in there. You'll think of something. And if you don't, well ........

reply to this comment

Ed Williams Mar 14, 2009, 3:42pm EDT

Y'all need to realize something - you have to reach down deep to produce something like this. You have to take all your accumulated literary skills and put them all to work for you. I slaved over this work, and it is so refreshing to finally be able to unleash it on the literary world. What "The Catcher In the Rye" is to Salinger, thus this posting is to me.

Le bard,

My that is a great work.
WOW

reply to this comment

Ed Williams Mar 14, 2009, 3:52pm EDT

Vivian, I'm humbled. We never know when greatness may hit us, and thus has been my lot today. I promise to keep my feet on the ground, even given the tremendous riptides of emotion that are flowing through me as we speak......

Elizabeth O. Mar 14, 2009, 4:15pm EDT

Humility is one of your virtues that I've noticed.....it takes a great man to be humble in light of such great literary work....I'm overwhelmed to be in such great company. I'm getting all choked up. Although that could be from the dust in the museum when I worked this afternoon. Either way, Ed, you never cease to impress me. That's quite a compliment coming from me as I don't impress easily. Keep up the wonderful work!!!
