Worthy to Print Column | Will You Be Mine?

Aahhhh February! This has to be one of my favorite months. For a month that only has 28 or 29 days, there are a lot of days that we celebrate this month. Of course, we have Valentine’s Day. This is the day Saint Valentinus...

Adventure Abounds Column: Playing Fowl

Getting an oddball pet can be a great motivator, especially when it provides food for you as well as bug control and an endless supply of fertilizer for the garden. I never thought I’d be one to raise a flock of fowl ever again in...

Window on the World Column | No Doubting the Universe

ā€œNo doubt the universe will unfold as it should,ā€ I tell my husband (sort of citing my favorite poem ā€œDesiderataā€). This was after we returned home from our neighbor’s place up the hill. Most times you go to neighboring homes and receive tomatoes or...

Funny Papers Again Column | Trying to Avoid Being the Ugly American

Steve Wilson
I feel I would be remiss if I did not mention some of my recent experiences in Switzerland, but there also are some issues and events here in South Valley, so I’ll attempt to split the column accordingly. After some short observations and experiences...

Worthy to Print Column | I’ve Got a Feeling

You ever wake up in a funk? When I awoke this morning, I had the terrible feeling of doom. I don’t know why I felt this way, but it seemed as though I wouldn’t make it through the day, and not making it through...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜Younger, Richer, Stronger, Better Looking,’ and ASST. Interns

Steve Wilson
We’ll get to the title of this week’s column, kinda, but first I offer up mention of a television program both to conjure a memory in the likeminded and to inform a younger readership; if one exists. When I was a kid laying on a...
