It's Mother's Day -- don't forget your Mom
I’m not a big fan of secular made-up holidays, but Mother’s Day is different. I love Mother’s Day and today I will call my mother, Rosalie, in Milwaukee and tell her that I love her.

Aging parents can take us back to beginning
There you are! I love seeing your face when I wake up. I know I kept you up last night, and I’m sorry. I don’t know if I was cold or scared. I forget. Thank you so much for changing my diaper.

Use of local air service makes a difference
One of the Port of Walla Walla’s top priorities has been and continues to be the retention of commercial air service in the Walla Walla Valley.
Shady Lawn Antiques: The backstory
I don’t think someone just wakes up one morning and says, “I think I will open an antique shop.”
Gen-Xers blue about retirement prospects
My generation was supposedly about apathy. Disengaged. Slackers. What a crock.
Time for optimism in higher education
Much of the discourse about higher education in recent years has been negative, but as I sit in my office writing this column on a beautiful spring afternoon in College Place I am optimistic. The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and our campus is teeming with enthusiastic young people soaking up new knowledge, learning about themselves and the world and dreaming about a bright future.
