Let go.

You might have seen my tweet the other day:

I don’t have a whole lot more to say about it right now, except for two things: one, it was unexpected, and two, I enjoyed every single day I worked at Sports on Earth  except for the last one. I wish the folks still there nothing but the best.

I’m not sure what’s next. I’ve heard from some people about some interesting possibilities, and I’m going to take a little time to sort things out. Plus, I have two very important fantasy football drafts coming up.

In the meantime, I’ll be posting here more often. I’m on Twitter pretty much every day, and my tweets cross-post to my Facebook account. Today I started a Tumblr about concerts I’ve been to over the years. And some other stories are coming out in various places soon — I’ll link to them when they do.

Everything’s fine. Thanks for all the kind words so far. See you on the next page.

I’ll listen to any ideas, Michael…

My best to you. I must selfishly add: please keep writing so we can read it! Thanks.

Come back to the Charlotte Observer! I miss your thoughtful columns.

tommytomlinsonsays:

Melissa, thanks for the kind thoughts. A little secret for you: I’ll have a piece in the Observer next week. Probably Tuesday.

Keep your head up high, eyes above the horizon. There’s something big and bold and beautiful and bitchin’ out there.
Don’t look back.

tommytomlinsonsays:

Thanks, buddy. You taught me all that long before now.

Thomas Colesays:

I’d clear an entire wall of my refrigerator if you came back to the Charlotte Observer.!

No need to take drastic measures, now… (and thanks for the kind words)

Your article about the Orange Bowl, “Lemon Bowl” SOE 1/2/13, was one of the greatest articles I’ve ever read about a truly awful game. Sorry for not emailing sooner regarding that article; I hope you will continue to include sports in you writing.

tommytomlinsonsays:

Thanks so much, Ray — you might have been the only one who READ that story! I definitely plan to keep writing sports. This note is a great boost. I really appreciate it.
