Wally Nichols is an advice columnist for a regional upstate paper. It's not exactly advice though- at least not in the 'Dear Abbey' sense. This is up on a soap box/ bully pulpit material that is sometimes salty, sometimes very funny, sometimes clever, sometimes humble, sometimes appreciative, sometimes observant. This is a collection of the best 50 over 3 year span. They are all short enough to read in the John, the bedroom or the beach.
