Bcised on her email to me, my guess is her college foot- iball allegiance is in align ment with my best friend arid her computer peiss- word is rolltide4ever. David Peeler took me to task after one column I jcause he thought I as painting all Caro- la Panther fans with ^fie same brush when I discussed a few idiots who became Instagram famous for fighting at a game. 1 wasn’t trying to do that at all, but I appre ciated him reaching out so I recognized I needed try and be more clear V next time. I was sure to thank him. Lanny Hiday made my day when he described my writing as “witty, literate, timely, and on target,” later suggesting that I expand syndica tion. I appreciate any one who supports local businesses and reads the newspaper but if they tell me I did my job “beautifully,” then I ap preciate it even more. There are many oth ers and I seriously can’t thank them, or you, enough for reading ev ery week. I promise to keep reading when y’all write too.
