Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜For a Better World, What Would You Change?’

Steve Wilson
If I were a cleverer wordsmith, I am sure I could come up with the right phrase, or adage, to convey how a bad thing can turn into a good thing; how a misstep may lead to a better path. It is possible I’ll...

Funny Papers Again Column | Opinion: ā€˜T’ Is a No-Brainer; The Oval Not So Much

Steve Wilson
Election Day 2024 is in 19 days and I have already marked my ballot, sealed it in the postage paid envelope and have it setting here atop my little work table. Today, I will deposit it in the ballot box located at the south...

Funny Papers Again Column | Donate Yourself and Be a Volunteer

The definition of the word ā€œvolunteer,ā€ according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, is a person who does a job without being paid for it. That’s pretty straightforward, but in my opinion it falls a bit short of the mark; if one takes the...

Window on the World Column | The Top Generation

Funny Papers Again Column | One Attraction Not Seen at the Fair: The Horse Chase

Well, folks, I finally, after two aborted attempts in past years, made it to Dealy Plaza to visit the place where President Kennedy was murdered way back in November of 1963. Named for George Bannerman Dealy (1859-1946), a newspaper man who rose to civic...

Worthy to Print Column: Being a Father

I have been many things in my life, but without a doubt being a father was the hardest and yet the most rewarding. My daughter suffered my teaching as I had grown up in a home of men. I guess all children need discipline,...

Funny Papers Again Column | A Parade, a Ballet, Books and a Bark in the Dark…

Steve Wilson
Tempest fugit. That’s Greek, it translates to ā€œtime fliesā€ in English and seems befitting usage as we are now into December and heading into a new year. Again, so soon. Or so it seems to me and probably to most of those whose majority...
