The story sucked Thomas!

No…just kidding. Just trying to be different from everyone else here.

The story rocked and I hope you win the award. Either way, though, it was a powerful piece that had an impact! Great work…

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I appreciate it.

AtlPaddy: A “Wheatley” is a scientific measurement used predominantly in Finland. It measures gingerfolk’s different levels of social anxiety. Heady but true.

Thomas, it was one of the best pieces I’ve read on alcoholism. You’re an inspiration, even to old guys like me.

Great job guys! After working with the two of you this spring, I can tell you’re both very passionate about what you do. You both deserve to win after all the hard work you put in.

If Thomas wins, plesae don’t give him any days off, he’ll probably just end up in the Macon-Bibb County drunk tank.

Yeah, and Wheatley gives good news, which hardly anybody else is around to do anymore.

Congrats to everybody.
