    Being in Love0

    My heart was racing a mile a minute. My palms were getting sweaty. “Why? Why is he opening this darn card now? This wasn’t the plan!” I thought to myself. As Chris opened the card, I don’t think he truly knew what he was going to read. Could I run to my cousin’s Hyundai Sonata

    I joined the many fans who were in the MAGIC DOME a few weeks back. I only was there to pay tribute to several of my friends.

  • 2024 Super Bowl Predictions (Taylor’s Version)0

    Back when Mike Rafferty started this tradition (back in 2012 if you’re keeping score), he used to come up with clever puns for each of the predictions. I’ve tried to do this over the years, but 1. I’m not as clever as Raff and B. Even if I were that clever, this piece has grown

  • The Bookworm Sez: “Soundtrack of Silence: Love, Loss, and a Playlist for Life” by Matt Hay0

    That one Prom Song always does it for you. Just a few notes and you’re reminded of sweaty hands and wilted corsages, awkward poses for parents with cameras, arms around your date, and tiny steps while swaying in a circle. A song sure can be a memory-tickler. In the new memoir, “Soundtrack of Silence” by

  • Welcoming Wiser’s 50th0

    Nineteenth-century French journalist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Kerr is credited with saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Apparently, Lycoming College has bought in.

  • Frozen Lines0

    Punxsutawney Phil was a no show. I guess that means it will be an early spring. Sign me up. The weather has been quite unpredictable. We haven’t experienced much cold.

  • Does Tea Have Medicinal Properties?0

    The common cold can strike at any time of year, but most people likely associate colds with winter. Colds tend to spread more easily in winter, when people typically spend more time indoors with windows closed, thus making it easier for colds and other viruses to spread.

    Young Love0

    Love Month starts this week. When I think of February, I think about love, hearts, the colors red and pink, and flowers. It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year. I feel like I was just throwing our jack-o-lanterns out yesterday and saying goodbye to Halloween. Time, where do you go? Wasn’t it just

  • County Hall Corner: Rethinking the Future0

    I taught an elective course on Future Studies at a business college in Europe. The students were quite interested in knowing what skills and possibilities in employment would be out there when they entered the working world. It is obviously a shaky science as we have no way of knowing the future and, at best,
