Worthy to Print Column | Let’s Go Truckin’

George Worthy
Did I ever tell you about my pickup? Oh, no need to reply. If I go one day without speaking about the ā€œGreen Machine,ā€ I start to get the shakes and Lorraine runs out of the room. Don’t get me wrong, she knew that...

Window on the World Column: The waiting

The waiting is the worst. I don’t think there is anyone who would challenge me on that. I get flashbacks to my own cancer diagnosis from 10 years ago. One test slowly crawled to another and you are in the waiting room of your...

Funny Papers Again Column | What Devotion Requires the Last Full Measure?

This week’s column will be, of necessity and choice, a bit shorter in length than normal. Since I was a little boy raised in the Eisenhower Generation I have, as have many others of my generation, seen War movies from World War I (the...

Worthy to Print Column | Take Your Shot
