As I was nearing the end of a leisurely run on a dark, damp Thursday evening, I ran past a figure getting out of a car near a funeral home who yelled out “nice editorial this week.” I looked back to make out someone I recognized from a neighboring town, replied “thanks” and continued into the darkness.
Such are the joys, and peculiarities, of small town journalism.
Of course, the personal feedback isn’t always positive. I’ve had people confront me — not on a dark street in the middle of winter, fortunately — about a column they didn’t particularly like.
