This is an important article — especially for a good man. Why? Because only a good man can suffer a scandalous moral failure. When evil men do evil things, no one notices,
Well, it happened again, sort of. Local legend Tom Cillo, strongman, supervisor of Williamsport Streets and Parks, and all-around nice guy, broke the PA State Deadlift Record again. Tom and I go way back to our training and powerlifting days at the YMCA and my gym, MAX Fitness, so when I heard he came out
Merry almost Christmas! It’s one of my favorite times of the year! So, c’mon kids, let’s go! Grab your cocoa and meet me by the Christmas tree! We have important things to discuss! Bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too, and snow will soon (Maybe?) be glistening! But regardless of the weather, it is once again
Sometime in the next few days, TV listings and internet sites will begin to burst with Christmas-film suggestions. But before we get swept away in a flood of Scrooges, wonderful lives and Red Ryder BB guns, how about a few films for Thanksgiving? Here’s a six-course movie-meal for the upcoming holiday: Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Note: This is the sixth article in a series called Overcoming the Five Failures of Us. Previous articles are always available at http://www.webbweekly.com.

Forget Thanksgiving; it’s been Christmas since November 1st, or so it seems in stores and in the fast pace of this month. Everyone I talk to feels like the season is flying by, and we’re all trying to keep our heads above water. There’s no more prepping for the week ahead; you must plan a
Here we are, a week before Thanksgiving (as of me writing). How is this even possible? As I drove Ty to school the other morning, the sunrise was remarkable. The scenery we saw just told us it was mid-November. It would have been the perfect photo for a November calendar. As we crested farther up
Pass the salt, please. Did you remember to add lots of butter? Of course, you did. What’s popcorn without butter and salt? What’s a movie without popcorn? And what’s a movie without these great books about Hollywood and TV? It’s been said that the great director Alfred Hitchcock was obsessed with having beautiful blonde women
Every year, on the fourth Thursday of November, Americans gather friends and family to sit down for an hour-long feast. That’s right, Thanksgiving dinner. A ready-made excuse to put on your stretchy pants, eat and drink to excess, watch football, and eventually pass out into what many people call a “food coma.” Food coma, or
Last year, around this time, we had an accident happen, and an eight-year-old at the time who was very upset. My phone rang, and it was Kenzy on the other line. I could hear her crying in the background. “Kenzy Mae. What’s wrong, honey?” I asked. She was trying to tell me but just kept
You were nowhere near prepared enough. Oh, sure, you had all your important documents in one place. Your valuables were put away, the car was gassed up, extra water was onboard, and you were ready for whatever happened. Now, of course, you can never totally plan for the worst, though with “The Longest Minute” by
In the post-pandemic world we now live in, it’s safe to say that function and comfort have supplanted style and form in many ways — most particularly, for me, in the choice of footwear. I have given up the ghost on high heels, preferring flats and lug soles. Also, with the concerns over the environment
