Otters Cute & Cuddly? Think again!+ Flashback...
I found a couple old columns from College interviews etc. Enjoy the flashback!
Otters Cute and Cuddly? Think again!
“There’s danger in der sea,” as said by a famous elderly person. Or maybe it was said on Scooby Doo. Ah, I forget.
This past weekend, while reading the Sunday paper, I read an article that greatly touched me. The title was “Rogue otter may be serial...
Valentines romantic movies aka It’s Ok Baby...
I wrote this awhile back, with this being Valentine’s Day I always like to bring it back…
Valentine’s Day is about to come and go. I don’t hate it but I’m also not going to marry it. I’m pretty okay with this holiday. Being a teacher sort of helps because you get to be cheesy and corny. Every year I buy cartoon valentines and make candy bags for the kids....
Charades, Schmades
I found this sketch I wrote 4 yrs ago. Hey it’s alright….
Charades, Schmades
Premise: Two teams are playing Charades. 1 team is just beyond belief good. The others are probably the worst players of Charades ever. One of the members of the losing team gets fed up and eventually has a breakdown.
Team 1: Shirley and Amy
Team 2: Mark and Molly
INT. LIVING ROOM
Shirley, Amy and Mark are...

I was taking a Billy Wilder/ Alfred Hitchcock class it was my favorite well second only to the...

If you have yet to see Rory Scovel perform live, you are certainly doing yourself a disservice. Hilarious, ingenious, unique and a little absurd, when Scovel performs you can clearly see he “marches to the beat of his own drummer”, but it is an infectious beat one you never want to stop hearing….
