“But when people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues.

The last few years, I’ve really focused on the importance of taking care of myself — both physically and mentally. At some point, you hit a certain age where you realize — you can’t just do whatever you want anymore. (Does admitting that make me sound old? Probably.) This isn’t about being selfish; it’s about
The boys and I have been busy. The weather has been outstanding. Ideal conditions for golf. Thanks to Lycoming College and our friends for their support. We play year-round now. 7 events this fall and 6 in the spring. Our schedule is full. Never a dull moment with these kids. Props to Williamsport Country Club.
Even though summer has sailed into the sunset, your local word-Smith still has boating on the brain. It all started weeks ago, when Webb’s Weird Words chose to honor sailing season — along with this summer’s 50th anniversary of Jaws — by looking at vocab related to watercraft. After no less than three articles on
As Penn State’s new wide receiver Trebor Pena hauled in one of his seven pass receptions from QB Drew Allar in the Nittany Lions opening day 46-11 win over Nevada, the TV talking head remarked, “Trebor had a great season at Syracuse last year (84, catches, 941 yards, 9 TDs) but they couldn’t afford him

It was a stark contrast: in a county where corn towers overhead and apple orchards stretch as far as the eye can see, Emily Camerer’s message at the Thursday morning commissioners’ meeting was a chilling reminder of the stark reality. Emily Camerer of the Central PA Food Bank addressed officials and residents to celebrate the
After a recent closet clean-out and a mid-40s birthday, I’ve begun to consider how my personal style has changed in the last decade, after getting older, having kids, dealing with illness, and being drawn in and out of ever-changing trends.
