Mike Farley writes a weekly humor column that captured first place in the 2012 National Society of Newspaper Columnists competition in the online, blog and multimedia category (under 100,000 monthly visitors). The Massachusetts writer claims it was a case of mistaken identity. He insists he writes "for people with nothing else to read." The judges differ: "Mike Farley's writing captures the amusement and wonder in the everyday moments of family life. His columns about braiding his daughter's hair and three-way conversations between husband and wife make you smile and chuckle out loud. He teases the reader into wanting more."
