Here I am in the car on an eight-and-a-half-hour road trip, writing my column. Time wasn’t on my side to get it done before we left, but when you have hours in the car, you might as well write. I do get car sick, but I just have to stop here and there and look
The invitation said Black Tie Only and you know what that means. It means this isn’t some put-on-the-old-feedbag kind of event. You’ll need your best manners, and you should brush up on where the glass goes and what to do with your fork. You don’t want any faux pas attached to your name, no emotionally-charged
My Pap, Floyd Liddick, has been gone for seven years now. My Gram, Lois Liddick, and Pap had a house about a half mile up the road from us. Driving by was part of my daily routine. Gram would be out watering the flowers, and Pap would be up working in his garden or on
Last week, Webb’s Weird Words wandered into the wonky world of sesquipedalian terms — meaning “long” or “polysyllabic” (literally: “one and a half feet”). Today by contrast, we’ll look at the other end of the spectrum — with a selection of diminutive, Lilliputian or teeny-weeny words. (Sorry, there aren’t too many comical synonyms for “short.”)

When we married, I told my husband I would never tell him what to wear unless he asked. And I’ve kept that promise for twenty years, and for twenty years, I’ve turned a blind eye to the many fashion crimes he’s committed. I can no longer ignore such atrocities, so for this Father’s Day, whether
The goal of my writing today is to inspire you to access the powerful transforming grace God has made available to us through the Holy Spirit. In this series of articles, we are recognizing one fundamental truth regarding transformational grace: God provides the grace, but we must access it. Doing so requires discipline. We access
It was a good year to be a Bulldog, especially for the Bellomo brothers. Between the two Jersey Shore Area High School seniors/fraternal twins, four school records were broken, a state championship won, and many personal records were set. Nick Bellomo, along with teammates Peyton Whitman, Elijah Jordan, and Brodie Herr, set the school record
Over 80 musicians will gather in Williamsport on Saturday to pay tribute to a beloved friend and mentor. Free and open to the public, the Albert J. Nacinovich Memorial Concert is slated for 7:30 p.m. on June 10 at the Williamsport Area High School auditorium. Nacinovich, a long-time area educator and 37-year
It’s funny how you see or hear something, and it takes you back to something you hadn’t thought about in years. Today my son Tyler was getting ready to go fishing at the river. It’s hot, and the sun is bright. I packed him some snacks in my lunch box and made sure he had
Regarding Disney’s latest, the question might be: “Does the world really need another ‘Little Mermaid?’” But we already posed that query with recent live-action reboots of “Cinderella,” “Jungle Book” and “Beauty and the Beast.” The answer was: “Probably not; but no one’s complaining.” And they won’t complain about the latest “Mermaid,” either — though I
