Window on the World Column: Make good memories

I hate the Fourth of July, America's birthday, Independence Day and all that. There, I’ve said it. I even said it out loud, as I hummed, alternatively, ā€œStar Spangled Bannerā€ and ā€œWe are the Champions.ā€ Then a wartime mortar comes flying over my head...

Funny Papers Again Column | Looking Forward to a New Start After Spring Has Sprung

Steve Wilson
Today’s column will fall short of the normal 1,000 words. And, with the blessing of Ryan my boss at New SV Media, it will be my last column for the month of March. It is far easier to write about a subject if that subject...

Funny Papers Again Column | Keeping up the Image and Miscellaneous Bits of Pieces

Steve Wilson
