Window on the World Column: Glass Half Full
With the changing of the times and the lessening of the daylight, I must annually go on self-watch alert. There is something about darkness during the daytime that makes me, well, dark. I can get the gloomies very easily when the clocks fall back...
Worthy to Print Column | One Man’s Junk Is Another Man’s Treasure
I spent most of the day on Saturday cleaning out my garage, and I don’t know if I will finish before the weekend is over. Funny how I keep watching the detritus get taller and taller. I keep telling myself that I will be...

Letter to the Editor | Silent Warriors
To the Editor:

Now, 50 years after their homecoming, the Vietnam War Commemoration is honoring veterans with...
Worthy to Print Column | Rock ’N’ Roll Forever
If you have been a reader of my scribbling, you are aware that I’m not a huge fan of the computer age. I use it often, but I sure hate to. It seems like I’m always having a problem with an assignment or order...
