Mike Pound (That’s me) wrote a newspaper column for nearly 20 years. Before that, he was an average newspaper reporter. Before that, he was an average TV reporter. Before that, he was an average radio reporter. He has also been, in no particular order, a below-average standup comedian and a seriously below-average college student.

His likes include long walks on the beach-assuming by “long walks” you mean sitting on a chair drinking beer-baseball, basketball, football, cheeseburgers, barbecue and the aforementioned beer.

His dislikes include long walks on the beach, overuse of the word “literally” and people who switch back and forth between the first and third person.

I have been married to the same woman for…I want to say 31 maybe 32 years…and we share a 25-year-old daughter named Emma.

They also have three cats and a dog.

I think that about sums it up.
