Mea Culpa

To the Editor:

In last week’s paper denouncing the school bond and the behavior of the school board, I unintentionally said something that wasn’t accurate. The discovery went like this: Wife (while reading the FCR): “how did you know how much money Coach Crow raised for Yoakum?”

Me: “Thats what you told me when you read me the article on it.”

Wife: “No dear, I never told you that number.”

Me (after a long uncomfortable pause) :……”oops.”

So, mea culpa. Apparently, my brain looses focus whenever discussing numbers that have a minimum of 7 zeros behind them…especially when discussing with someone as beautiful as my wife. Let the principle stand (people giving freely is better than governments taking forcefully) but please disregard the number.
