Window on the World Column | The Gammy Leg

Lucy Jensen
ā€œYou’re limping again,ā€ he said (again). ā€œYES! FULLY AWARE AGAIN OF THE FACT I’M LIMPING. DON’T MENTION IT ALL THE TIME!ā€ (I don’t think he will for a while.) I’ve had a gammy leg, as father would say, for over six months now. When you...

Window on the World Column | Day in the Life of a Pre-Op Patient

Lucy Jensen
As I sat on the shore watching my old friend and my daughter cavorting on paddleboards in the early morning sun, the North Sea an unusually flat blue millpond of joy, I could not help the envy rising inside and it was not a...

Window on the World Column: Secret Sisters

ā€œā€˜Tis the season! Join my baking group, send Christmas cheer out to the world, be a part of a Secret Santa, Operation Christmas Child or Secret Sister group?ā€ Normally, I wouldn’t go there. I don’t have time to be figuring out how to do...

Worthy to Print Column | Make the Most of Your Regrets

Regrets? I’ve had a few. Old blue eyes, Frank Sinatra, sure knew how to say it better than me, but then he got to live his life ā€œMy Way.ā€ I have done a lot of things in my life. I got to thinking about...

Funny Papers Again Column | When a Road Can Be a Friend Good to See Again

Steve Wilson
If one can say that driving through an area is visiting, then I visited with an old acquaintance the other day and it was good to meet up again. It was comforting to know that while both of us have aged, neither of us...
