READ MOREMy Momma probably read the title of this and got a little nervous. It’s that one time of year that I can write about her, and she can’t say anything about it. She doesn’t like to be in the spotlight. But when you have a momma as wonderful as I do and have thirty-eight years
READ MOREIt seems that summer, or at least summer weather, has arrived! And with summer comes sunscreen, even on cloudy days. On a surface level, all sunscreens have the same task: To minimize skin’s exposure to sunlight and, in doing so, reduce the signs of skin damage and lower the risk of skin cancer. However, not

READ MORESpecial thanks to the readers of Webb Weekly. I am still amazed at how many folks will turn to this page. I ran into two people last week — totally random — one at Wegmans and one at work. Their kind words meant the world. I always get excited when someone recognizes me from this
READ MOREHave you taken note? The cover date of this week’s Webb Weekly is 042424. There might be lucky numbers in there somewhere — but if there aren’t, don’t blame me!

READ MOREThe first time your child laughs, walks, and talks, are all exciting moments to look forward to – in addition to being important developmental milestones.

READ MOREWhen I taught English at Loyalsock High School, I sometimes took a single class-session and introduced my students to silent-film genius Buster Keaton. It was a bit of a stretch connecting this to my curriculum — though Keaton worked with Samuel Beckett and was also a master of the nonverbal cues covered in my speech
READ MOREOur country today is not as much a United States as we are a various group of states that get united based on political convictions. Our fifty states are recognized as “red states” (Republican), “blue states” (Democratic), and those that are somewhat of a blend of the two or bounce from red to blue or

This is where a program such as Lycoming Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
READ MOREAre you all into fancy coffees, smoothies, and drinks? Do you prefer Starbucks or Dunkin’? Or maybe you have a local hot spot that tickles your beverage fancy. I see lots of really good-looking drinks on social media from different cafes and coffee shops. The problem with me is that “most of it” is coffee-flavored.
READ MORELycoming College has a golf team. Yes. We still get a few strange looks. Whether it is walking across campus with our clubs. Or when we pull up to a McDonalds in our matching outfits. This is my second stint with the Warriors. I mentored the team from 2001 to 2016. I got out of
READ MOREAfter watching the disastrous collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, I kept a close eye on what followed. I will withhold my thoughts until I have some more solid knowledge about the plan of attack to quickly reopen one of the most important American harbors.

It was the annual meeting for the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I am so proud to be associated with this great organization. It
READ MOREMost of us who live paycheck to paycheck (or, in my case, from Social Security deposit) do not understand what makes the rich tick. Yes, we know that they can get to wear the finest clothes, go to the nicest restaurants, travel wherever they want, etc., but the rich generally take all that for granted.

Last I heard- the Commonwealth has 697 stocked streams and 129 lakes. Impressive. The PFBC will also coordinate with many others to add an
READ MOREChristians believe that God is all-powerful. We believe God can do absolutely anything, and we place no limitations on His power. In fact, we believe He can “do immeasurably more than all we ask or even imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). That being understood, Christians often suffer the disappointment of prayers that seem to go unanswered. Believers,
