    There’s an alternative, but it’s not always a good one. You can grow old or… well, you could die. Other choices: remain grumpy in your chair or look out the window and see what’s outside. You can have joy or regrets. Gather your years or deny them, keep the gray, or dye your hair, live

  • Buster Keaton Movies in Canton — With a Live Orchestra!0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    When I taught English at Loyalsock High School, I sometimes took a single class-session and introduced my students to silent-film genius Buster Keaton.

    Tim Hartzell

    “During his six-plus decades of ministry, Billy Graham fielded many, many faith-based questions.

    Another trout season is underway, and I still enjoy getting out on a stream, even though I’ve been trout fishing for over sixty years now. Over all those years, I’ve had a chance to fish with an assortment of equipment, lures, and baits. Like a lot of kids, I started with worms and a bobber
