The Column

For years I wrote an entertainment column for the Chippewa Falls Herald Telegram in my hometown. I don’t write regularly anymore, but my articles are still available online at www.chippewa.com. To read some of my work, please go to the website and search for my name. Or read on for links to some of my favorite columns…
