Dear Bill,
Loved your story today about the cowboy reinactors. I really love all your stories. They are all just a little bit off. I like that very much. You are a treasure.
Sincerely, Joe Allan of Mt. Shasta, CA

Are you friend with that Jan Crawford lady? Do you approve of what she did with the new hampshire GOP suffolk poll results? That was pretty slimy. We're trying to get some sort of response (or perhaps an apology) from her and/or CBS on this. Not having much luck. Just curious if you are aware of this latest CBS scandal.

I will continue to fix typos, until the day I die, but not as frequently as my mother did with her Sharpie and other pens. I try to do it more politely and subtley (sp?). Helping others to learn is the point and once in a while I get a lovely letter from someone thanking me for taking the time to let them know their website has an error, as the head of Equine Advocates did just this last week. Occasionally I get a letter, with misspellings, that tells me I must feel superior, as the person who worked (past tense on purpose, I hope he's no longer there) the Log Cabin company (not the syrup, building the log cabins) did. No, I did not feel superior but I did enjoy more errors in his email and wondered if his father owned the company.

The wedding was beautiful. The story may have been one of the best I've seen in quite some time. You were quite the handsome father as well....Congratulations! (I have two of those weddings in my future)

@potterbyran...Before you complain about people correcting others, perhaps you should police you own comments. For instance, learn the difference between there, their, and they're. It will serve you well in the future. In addition, punctuation adds to a sentence. The lack of punctuation makes a sentence...not a sentence. Spelling is another important facet of forming a complete thought and putting it to paper or digital format. I'm sure you have dictionary handy, right? Finally, a sentence must have subject/verb agreement. If you're not sure what that is, refer to the sentence above regarding use of a dictionary. You mention in your post that "If I could tell them myself, I would". In reading you post, I'm not sure you could.

The wedding story: Your daughter was absolutely beautiful. I shed a few tears and the only other time I did that was your spoof on Martha Stewart when you had a paper plate and went outside to gather Naturals for your arrangement. Laughed so hard. Wish they would run that again. People need to laugh more. Keep up the great stories and thank you for sharing that special day with all your followers.

Bill, your daughter's wedding was great to watch, as it was the same in many ways for us as our son was married in our back yard on Sept. 4th. We were able to escape Mother Nature's unpredictable wrath due to the fact that our property, the wedding venue, was 6 feet underwater exactly one week earlier. We are on a tributary to the main river upstate. The day came off "without a hitch" as they say, huge tent and all! It rained "cats and dogs" the next day courtesy of hurricane Lee.

Just watched your story on your daughter's wedding. You said you were close to tears and I just had to write to tell you that I cried those happy tears for you. What a lovely story, thank you!
