Worthy to Print Column | Mysterious Ways

You know, when you write a little story each week and try to keep the subjects fresh, there are times when you really have to sit back for a while so you can bring forth — through the keys on a computer keyboard —...

Worthy to Print Column: Happy Anniversary

It appears that I have passed another milestone in my life. I have lived long enough to be with my wife for 32 years. I almost didn’t make it, but you’ll see how it came out. Perhaps you too may recognize some of my...

Funny Papers Again Column | Missouri and Florida: Never the Twain Shall Meet?

I have always enjoyed words and how they are used, but as I have not kept up on the grammatical, I frankly admit to longer being able to accurately describe, or recognize in use, the dangling participle or the gerund, nor would I be...

Funny Papers Again Column | When Mr. Kant and Mr. Lobo Met at a Bus Stop

Steve Wilson
It took me forever to get a college degree. Really. It was nearly 30 years and over 330 miles apart — from September of 1970 when I enrolled as a drama major at Hartnell in Salinas until March of 2000 before I got an...

Worthy to Print Column | No One Has a Happy Memorial Day

Steve Wilson
Growing up in Greenfield in the late 1950s through the ’60s and beyond, we (ā€œweā€ meaning those whose parents, grandparents and beyond spoke English) were introduced to foreign languages and English with idioms and accents previously unknown to us. I doubt I’m alone of...

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

Lucy Jensen
