Funny Papers Again Column | LOSSx3: A People We Cannot Lose, a Building We May Lose, a Group I Hope We Never Lose

Steve Wilson
For those of you who read last week’s column, I can honestly tell you I realized who the murderer of Roger Ackroyd was before it was revealed by the author. It was no great feat of detective prowess on my part, no great discerning...

Worthy to Print Column | A Super Supervisor

You know I occasionally meet someone who has read my input for this fine periodical. They say something like, ā€œOh I love your column and my mother never misses it.ā€ Occasionally, I even get questioned about how much the paper is paying me for...

Window on the World Column | Struggling to Make Peace

Lucy Jensen
ā€œStruggling to make peace with the irreparableā€¦ā€ I read this line somewhere after the kind of week that will turn you into a zombie — literally. The sort of week when you wish you could turn back time for a do-over. Then I re-read the...

Worthy to Print Column | Cold Enough for You?

It sure is cold enough for me. This morning I had to get up early to go to a dentist appointment over in Monterey. When the old alarm clock said, ā€œIt’s time to get up,ā€ I just pulled the covers up and said to...

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...

Funny Papers Again Column | Notes on Pomona to KC After a Rain to an Oklahoma Grift

Steve Wilson
We are now one week past the Autumn Equinox, the day defined as having an equal number of hours of sunlight and moonlight. Autumn’s twin is the Vernal Equinox in March. The opposite of these days of equality are the Summer and Winter solstices...

Funny Papers Again Column | The Franchise: Fragile; Handle With Care

I am the first to admit last week’s offering under this byline exists as anemic example of writing, so henceforth I’ll try to be more careful with the space so generously available to me. That said, or read, let us on to a couple...
