Worthy to Print Column | A Mother’s Love
This is a story I wrote 20 two years ago. I wrote it to honor my mother on Mother’s Day. She didn’t know I would do this and probably would have asked me not to write it, but it was a gift that came...
Guest Column | Let’s Remain Vigilant, But Don’t Neglect Your Health
Even as Covid-19 vaccinations roll out across the country, the daily threat from this virus remains — especially in rural areas such as South Monterey County.
We all need to remain vigilant, with a strict adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...
Window on the World Column | Boy Town
It started off as a nice offer from the husband. “He can come and stay with us for a while!” We were talking about our friend’s 21-year-old son. They live in the U.K. I never thought it would happen, really didn’t. “What a nice...
Worthy to Print Column | Happy Birthday to Me
It appears as though His Highness has granted me another trip around the sun. I have a lot of trips at this point in my life. That’s OK though. As long as I’m here as long as Betty White, who shares a birthdate with...
Worthy to Print Column | Fly Your Flag Proudly
WOW! What a great couple of days. Did you get enough to eat? I’ll admit that since gluttony is a sin, I’ll tell you that I didn’t eat that much, but I won’t be eating any big meals for a couple of days. What makes...
Letter to the Editor | Restoring the Balance
To the Editor:
Thanks for bringing Steve Wilson back to your pages. I found his column about words in last week’s edition creative, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable.
In contrast, your other contributing columnist’s whining about what he deems unfair felt like its complete antithesis. Closing with...
Worthy to Print Column | Got Stuff — and More Stuff
I woke up this morning and I tripped over my camera gear. I’m sure God will forgive me for the words I muttered out loud. Lorraine doesn’t like clutter, but sometimes we leave things in the wrong place. I keep telling myself I’m going...
Worthy to Print Column | Nothing in Life Comes Easy
I usually awake on a Monday morning and see what is going on in my life. This morning I got bad news on my phone. One of my best friends’ mom died last night. She chose, if that’s possible, to die on the anniversary...
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...
Window on the World Column | The Newborn
“Why don’t we just adopt older dogs from now on. Let’s make the end of their lives the best ever!” We were all set. No more puppies, no toddlers with four legs. Our pack of near golden oldies (truthfully, more black-and-white than golden) —...
