Window on the World Column | The Adventures Continue

ā€œI’m a traveler,ā€ I brag, as people wow at my ability to whoosh through time zones without a care or jet-laggy attitude in the world. Well, mostly. I remember a pilot friend of mine telling me that anytime you land where you intended to...

Window on the World Column: Make good memories

I hate the Fourth of July, America's birthday, Independence Day and all that. There, I’ve said it. I even said it out loud, as I hummed, alternatively, ā€œStar Spangled Bannerā€ and ā€œWe are the Champions.ā€ Then a wartime mortar comes flying over my head...

George Worthy
To be honest, I had to sit down and figure out how long ago I moved my family to Gonzales. I’m not going to guess, as I know it has been at least 30 years or more. I loved this town as soon as...

Worthy to Print Column: They can do it

When I was a young man — oh, about 12 — I wondered why we even had to go to school. I got along with all my classmates and even liked my teacher, but on a day when the sun was out and the...
