Worthy to Print Column | The Bonds of Brotherhood

I woke up the other day to my phone making sounds that announce a new text had come in since I last checked. I usually turn my phone off at night. I have never got a good result if it is a nighttime call,...

Window on the World Column | The Party Plan

Lucy Jensen
ā€œI didn’t know her,ā€ the preacher said. ā€œBut if I had known her, I’m sure I would have liked her.ā€ I raised one querying eyebrow at my husband. We are at his aunt’s funeral in Watsonville. (Is it a funeral service if the person...

Worthy to Print Column | I’ve Got a Feeling

You ever wake up in a funk? When I awoke this morning, I had the terrible feeling of doom. I don’t know why I felt this way, but it seemed as though I wouldn’t make it through the day, and not making it through...

Funny Papers Again Column | What a Long, Strange (Round) Trip It’s Been

Today’s Funny Papers will be a bit abbreviated for no particular reason other than I have so much to write about there isn’t room in one, or 10, columns, so I’ll make it brief. For those unaware, which is I suppose most of you,...

February is the month of love, and certainly not the time to talk about breakups. But when it comes to separating from all the ā€œstuffā€ in your life, the familiar refrain, ā€œIt’s not you, it’s me,ā€ rings true. Editing might be a little painful, but...

Window on the World Column | Make a Difference, However Small

People are digging out maps and figuring out where this place is — Ukraine. Who are these people? They live so far away from us; aren’t we glad we are not them! They seem like a fiercely loyal people — they love their animals...

Window on the World Column | You Are Not a Tree…

I saw this line on social media and I loved it so much. Too many people in the free world complain about where they live, banter on about what they don’t care for in that place — the politics, the weather, the terrain or...

Funny Papers Again Column | Do Svidaniya, Priyatyl, Do Svidaniya

For those of us who are now in our seventh decade, and those of decades more, there are certain times in history that may influence us in often-profound ways. It stands to reason, then, that any news story which gobbled up precious air time...
