Window on the World Column | Real Estate and Life

Lucy Jensen
There are few guarantees in life. One thing you can count on, however, is change. Constant change. I equate real estate with life. It’s always up and down, forever moving, seldom boring. I have now been working in California real estate for 20 years,...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜One Ticket for Greenfield, Please.’ ā€˜ER, Which One?’

Steve Wilson
I don’t believe I am alone in thinking the last two Funny Papers Again columns were just not necessary. While like most citizens, I have personal positions regarding the present political atmosphere in America, but that does not mean I should use space in...

Worthy to Print Column | Raising Children

Do you ever get the feeling that you were born at the wrong time or place? How about what you do? I ask these questions because I often find myself in a situation where a little prior knowledge of a subject would have surely...

Funny Papers Again Column | It Is Not About the Writer, but the Writer’s Intent

Steve Wilson
The comment, often offered as criticism, that for writers of columns it is ā€œall about themā€ and so of little value beyond opinion, which we all have. Very true. If you regularly read Lucy’s stuff up in Soledad or every Wednesday in Gonzales you...

Funny Papers Again Column | It Takes a City to Raze a Building (Or to Save One)

Steve Wilson
I was pedaling around Greenfield the other day and it is easy to see the great strides the city has made in adding family homes and apartments; new businesses spring up and older businesses are upgrading appearances. Then I got to the main intersection...

Window on the World Column | The Highs and the Low Tides of Life

There is something about the silence of an empty house that is so comforting it is almost not empty at all. When the voices have left the building, the last car door has slammed and the final cup of tea has been consumed, the...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜Sink or Swim’ — In Greenfield You Can Do Neither

Steve Wilson
Throughout my educational career I attended college and university at an erratic pace with time gaps of months and even years; but during each of those academic periods there was the need for income. Twice during those periods while attending classes I found that...

Funny Papers Again Column | Variation of Three Dot Journalism

When I was a lad I read the San Francisco Examiner’s renown columnist Herb Caen, the inventor of Three Dot Journalism; a form this column ofttimes mimics. Caen wrote his column as a series of items separated by ellipses … the word is Greek...
