Think About It
Beginning in 1997, I began writing a regular humor column for the Nicholls State University campus paper, The Nicholls Worth. The column appeared in virtually every paper until I graduated in 2000. When I began working at my home town’s newspaper, I took the column with me there until my departure in 2005, at which point I began writing new columns exclusively online. Here is an archive of all columns currently online. Although I no longer write the column regularly, when the mood strikes me, it can rage again before you know it.

Christmas and Halloween Parties
I am a sucker for holidays, and I love getting into the spirit.
