And btw, if anyone is wondering why Lisa, a genuinely nice person is hanging around with the rest of us ... it’s a mystery.

But we’re glad she is.

Congrats! 

So who is it after Lisa?  Connie?  Teresa?  Liz? Eliosa? 

Are they going for a Squawk sweep!

CONGRATS, LISA!!

Lisa is a sweetheart and bright and witty and hysterically funny. Why she hangs around with us--- well, there have been rumors bandied about for years now suggesting it’s a matter of looking good by comparison.

In a related story:

Leona Helmsley has been putting out feelers about the possibility of joining.

Thank you dears!!! I am so excited and amazed. The only thing I want to complain about is that Christina did such a spectacular job last year, it’s a hard act to follow.

I wish all the Squawkers could go up there with me, and we would do a group keynote. Can you imagine? *g*

Love to all!

As to why I hang out with the Squawkers . . . I just bask in the reflected glow of their starshine. Very flattering lighting.

I already had the gig back in 2002, Sarah!  And it’s a wonderful one because RWA makes you feel like the Queen of the Ball for the entire week.  So I’m thinking our Lisa had better pull that tiara out of storage and start polishing it wink

And I know why they asked her to do it because I’ve heard her speak and she’s absolutely WONDERFUL!!! 

Teresa, who will be honored to carry her train

Teresa - 2002!  I missed that!  I was poor and could only eat if my boyfriend would pay for the food.  (Really… I’m not kidding.)

Oh....crap!  Now I have to fly from Italy to Texas—do you guys realize how long that flight is?

Wait…

Eloisa has a moment of self-awareness.

I shouldn’t be thinking about me, should I?

CONGRATULATIONS, LISA!!!

Now why did that post twice?  Maybe because Lisa deserves two pats on the back from me for her achievement…

That is awesome!  Congrats, Lisa!  I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa and hearing her wonderful Armadillo speech at 2005 NJ RWA Conference.  She really is as nice as they say she is!
