Spoke to a group of broadcasters last night. You really can’t BS broadcasters — at least not when it comes to standing up behind a microphone. They do it for a living. (Come to think of it, so do I.)
I really enjoyed the evening and my presentation was warmly received. And as an added bonus, I was inspired by the numerous winners and their amazing work. I really appreciate the amount of talent we have in Mississippi.
And I was repeatedly complimented by people who have no reason to compliment me. And by people who I greatly respect.
I walked out of there with a renewed confidence in my ability, my cartoons and the difference I’ve made in this state over my career. I should have never allowed that to have been stolen by a select few.
P.S. I really enjoyed meeting CBS news’ Randall Pinkston. He got his start at WLBT and was back in town for an award. It was very uplifting to hear him say he is a fan of my work.
See, even your peers think you are wonderful!!
