Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜The Nutcracker Ballet’: What Have I Been Missing?

Very soon, in fact just two days from today, the Monterey County Dance Foundation will present the Monterey County Dance Theatre’s 62nd anniversary production of ā€œThe Nutcracker Balletā€ on the Robert Stanton Theater. That will be a treat for me as I have never...

Worthy to Print Column | Hello, It’s Me Again

Window on the World Column | Late for It All

Lucy Jensen
I don’t know what happened. We skipped through Halloween, enjoyed a nice, peaceful Thanksgiving and then all heck broke loose. I took an early Christmas delivery to my dad and sister overseas — and how organized was I! Even had the holiday gift bags...

Funny Papers Again Column | New City Streets, New Game Rules and a New Hole in My Head

Steve Wilson
As astute readers have already realized, last week’s column was a combination of three pieces I had put together in the past couple of months and that explained its confusing and debatable message. Not to worry; like many others I am over political topics...

Funny Papers Again Column | My Efforts to Outsmart Hercule — and Two Blasts From the Past

Steve Wilson
I am attempting to solve a mystery before a world-famous detective, once again, solves it. The task is not an easy one, but I feel I am up to it given my years of experience; reading experience, that is. I have for more years...
