Watch your step
and take your time. This should give you an idea of the fading-into-the-horizon
range of interests I harbor. Here are essays from
my high school newspaper, the Eagle Eye, my college newspaper, Chimes,
and other indulgences in which I've wielded my word processor. I know you're
busy, so I've collected a select
few I think turned out better than the others. You be the judge.

2PC appears semi-regularly, whenever the rustling grass
or blathering politicians move me (actually, whenever I have more than
seven seconds of free time).
Why "2PC"? For a long time Sports Illustrated called its
back page essay the "Point After," while ESPN Radio still calls its one-minute
commentaries the "Extra Point." This site's title is an overt and shameful
extension of such appellations. \par \par
