Window on the World Column | Grandmas Return to Vegas

Lucy Jensen
This had been a long time in the making. The last time we did ā€œGrandmas Gone Wildā€ in Vegas was only just post-pandemic and things were a little different back then. I’m not what you would call a gambler, per se, but I do...

Guest Column | Transportation: Surviving 2020 with Hope and Resiliency

It would be an understatement to say that 2020 has been a difficult year. By all standards, our world seems to have been turned upside down. From the small things that we took for granted, to larger, more important things, like our relationships with...

Window on the World Column | A Letter to My Sister — Part III

Lucy Jensen
ā€œDarling, darling, we have to stop! This is my cousin’s house!ā€ Car comes to a screeching halt, dust flying. We unload, remove our shoes at the door. Everyone sits in the family room. Boiling hot chai tea is produced in tiny glass cups with...

ā€œā€˜Tis the season! Join my baking group, send Christmas cheer out to the world, be a part of a Secret Santa, Operation Christmas Child or Secret Sister group?ā€ Normally, I wouldn’t go there. I don’t have time to be figuring out how to do...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜Oh, Thou Most Horrid of All Days!’

I have never held back vociferous disparagement of this date on the calendar, and I have no intention of abandoning that position at this late time in life. Today, as you all are aware, is the Winter Solstice; the shortest amount of daylight is...

Window on the World Column | The Atmospheric River

I love this time of year, when the ā€œstorm windowā€ opens, the water possibilities increase ten-fold and the population of our desiccated West Coast becomes transfixed by weather and all her whims. ā€œWe are on the storm watch,ā€ the forecaster whispers in spooky tones....

Window on the World Column | The Gammy Leg

Lucy Jensen
ā€œYou’re limping again,ā€ he said (again). ā€œYES! FULLY AWARE AGAIN OF THE FACT I’M LIMPING. DON’T MENTION IT ALL THE TIME!ā€ (I don’t think he will for a while.) I’ve had a gammy leg, as father would say, for over six months now. When you...
