Yet, we’ve made it to another Christmas and New Year week relatively unscathed, with challenges aplenty remaining in our little town.

I never served in the military. Came close in the 70’s when we had draft cards and numbers. Would have gone had I been called, but I was not.Having laid that “disclaimer” right out in front, I still have to ask the question — Why are we debating what constitutes “torture” and what doesn’t?

For the sake of good mental health, we all need that from time to time. Even before I tell you what has bolstered my faith, let me talk for just a moment about a very important word in the English language.

I was criticized in a letter to the editor for not looking for the truth. I took that criticism to heart; and over the last few weeks, I searched for the truth.

Both men were very critical of reading Mr. Narasimhan’s opinion, which did not coincide with their own. They even criticized the newspaper for printing it. I thought newspapers printed both sides of a story.

What? Owens, who has had clashes with every team he has played for might come to the Cowboys after Dallas released veteran Keshawn Johnson.

And many thanks to Linda Timmerman for telling me about the Web site. It’s comforting to know I’ll never again miss the chance to observe “What if Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day” which, alas, fell on March 3 this year.

There is no way to figure how many pieces I had to learn during a football season, but it could be a sizable amount. Take into account the tunes needed for a show each week, plus the various fight and school songs involved, and you see my dilemma. Back then, Fri, 17 Feb 2006 10:41:00 +0000 http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/editorials/local_story_048104039.html http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/editorials/local_story_048104039.html You two-timin’, good-for-nothing, sorry dog, you!Somehow those are the words I woke up with Wednesday morning. It was almost if I had said them aloud. Maybe I did, who knows? I have no idea what I was dreaming about to possess me with such thoughts. It has really boggled my mind that I would wake up with such concepts racing through my brain.

Her enthusiasm was echoed by all the members of the club. Our eyes were opened to the wonderful work of the Lions in collecting eyeglasses, providing glasses for children in need, the support for leader dog training and White Cane Day collection of donations for the eye bank.
