Worthy to Print Column | Wartime Leaders

Have you heard the news? We have gained a new state. Yeah, I know you didnā€™t know of that because it just hasnā€™t been made clear to you. Oh, Iā€™m sure you have been watching our leaders as they hand over OUR tax money...

Window on the World Column | The Party Plan

Lucy Jensen
ā€œI didnā€™t know her,ā€ the preacher said. ā€œBut if I had known her, Iā€™m sure I would have liked her.ā€ I raised one querying eyebrow at my husband. We are at his auntā€™s funeral in Watsonville. (Is it a funeral service if the person...

Funny Papers Again Column | This Just In: Sacramento Lawmakers Scuttle Local Columnist

For todayā€™s column I cite Joe Mathews as main source. Joe writes the California Connected column for Arizona State Universityā€™s publication Zocalo Public Square (which is redundant as a zocalo is a public square, but I digress). Instead of taking a dramatic approach where I...

Worthy to Print Column | Never Give Up

How about that Super Bowl! Did you get to watch it?Ā I canā€™t remember the last one that I have watched, but this one was really a good show. Lorraine and I enjoyed ourselves just hoping the best team would win. You know what? The...

Window on the World Column | The Gammy Leg

Lucy Jensen
ā€œYouā€™re limping again,ā€ he said (again). ā€œYES! FULLY AWARE AGAIN OF THE FACT Iā€™M LIMPING. DONā€™T MENTION IT ALL THE TIME!ā€ (I donā€™t think he will for a while.) Iā€™ve had a gammy leg, as father would say, for over six months now. When you...

Funny Papers Again Column | Me, Sir Richard and the Third Time Charm Rule

According to English language experts, the phrase ā€œThird time the charmā€ dates back to the 1800s in Old Britain when the number 3 was thought to be fortuitous, and whenever it appeared at a significant time in a personā€™s life, it would bring good...
