Funny Papers Again Column | A Merry Time at Mee

The next two week’s Funny Papers were about one-third written; they touched upon two subjects of which I had enough knowledge to write first drafts and then follow up with first-hand information. But a nagging little pain in my neck on Thursday morn had...

Guest Column | A Heart Shape Defines February, But Let’s Look Beyond the Emoji

Window on the World Column | ā€˜Tis the Season of Gratitude

George Worthy
This has been a rough week. It might look different to most of you, but for me it’s just another reminder of the test of time. Many years ago I bought a car from Joanne Rodriguez. Joanne’s husband Alva had passed away and he,...

Worthy to Print Column: The lost papers

Do you remember the year 2000? I had forgotten a lot about that year until I had a chance to visit my brother, who lives in Idaho, last week. He loves Idaho, but I didn’t lose anything up there. However, it had been a...
