Window on the World Column | Visiting in Situ

Lucy Jensen
In my newfound practice of giving people an experience instead of a gift, it was going to be our oldest son’s birthday and he was no longer going to be receiving socks and underwears from us, or even a normally coveted plaid shirt. I...

Funny Papers Again Column | A Parade, a Ballet, Books and a Bark in the Dark…

Steve Wilson
Tempest fugit. That’s Greek, it translates to ā€œtime fliesā€ in English and seems befitting usage as we are now into December and heading into a new year. Again, so soon. Or so it seems to me and probably to most of those whose majority...

Funny Papers Again Column | What Is the Problem With No Problem?

I have always been a reader. Back in the Paper Age people had a set of books in their homes which was known as an encyclopedia; comprised of two Greek words meaning ā€œcomplete education.ā€ They were a very comprehensive resource used by millions for...

Funny Papers Again Column | Motorcycle Mayhem: Part Two

Steve Wilson
I don’t know how the whole thing began, but it happened on Thanksgiving Day of 1969. My friend Dennis was a motorcycle rider, and for one reason or other I was going to ride one of his smaller bikes from Point A to Point...

George Worthy

To the Editor: As I picked up a copy of Monterey County’s publication, ā€œThe County of Monterey: 175 Years, A Brief Look at Our History,ā€ I was looking forward to perhaps learning a little more about our county. Once I got to the page about railroads,...

Window on the World Column | Another Turn Around the Sun

Lucy Jensen
The clock ticked swiftly on, meticulously in sync with the movement of the world. The hourglass turned again and, before you knew it, I was approaching another big birthday. All birthdays are truly marvelous, honestly, another trip around the sun, a bonus chance to...

Window on the World Column | So Much Love

Lucy Jensen
Anybody want a humongous house for 12 people, three nights in Bozeman, Mont.? A 49ers game with parking for four (oh, yes please … wait. I was outbid). How about a seven-day stay in Copper Mountain, Co.? A 48-hour wild pig hunt, maybe, or...
