Holiday Greetings From a Fan
Yesterday, I received a Christmas card in the mail from a die-hard fan of my weekly newspaper column. That has never happened before, and I was very touched by the gesture. I rarely receive any column feedback at all, save for a jar of pickled peppers that was given to me three years ago in tribute to a column I wrote about my love for hot and spicy food.
The card I received included a picture of my fan and her husband and son. It put a face on a fan I had never met, and it sort of sunk in that there may actually be people out in the world who enjoy my writing, and who actually think I'm funny from time to time. It was probably the best Christmas card I ever received. So, a thank you goes out to you, oh fan of mine. Thank you for your kind words and the nice card.
