Window on the World Column | Take Care of Yourself

Lucy Jensen
ā€œTake care of yourself!ā€ they rant. ā€œDiet and exercise, exercise and diet.ā€ Yes, we all know about that. Some of us consistently live by excellent habits, others less so. I’ve always loved to swim and walk — that’s my idea of exercise — and...

Adventure Abounds Column: Playing Fowl

Getting an oddball pet can be a great motivator, especially when it provides food for you as well as bug control and an endless supply of fertilizer for the garden. I never thought I’d be one to raise a flock of fowl ever again in...

Aahhhh February! This has to be one of my favorite months. For a month that only has 28 or 29 days, there are a lot of days that we celebrate this month. Of course, we have Valentine’s Day. This is the day Saint Valentinus...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜I See the Train A’Comin’; It’s Comin’ ’Round the Bend …’

Steve Wilson
ā€œRide the train, ride the train, anywhere I’m going I ride trains; sleepin’ in a boxcar in the rain, ride the train, ride the train.ā€ That is the refrain of a song by southern rock group Alabama, just one of many American songs where...
