  • Feds link North Korea to Sony hacking

    Updated Dec 19, 2014

  • View from the North 40

    Pam Burke|Updated Dec 19, 2014

    You live with someone for a few decades and you know everything about them. You’re like “this,” and by “this” I mean the intertwined fingers of oneness — which looks a lot like the crossed fingers used to ward off any bad juju from false promises, but isn’t that “this” this time. It’s for real oneness. Yeah, that’s my husband and me. There we were several months ago, going through life like one person, when I noticed that John usually had a light green towel hanging in his spo...

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 19, 2014

    “Let the little children come unto me and do not forbid them, for it is to such that the Kingdom of God belongs!” — Matthew 19:14 Out our way, it’s a time of Christmas lights, decorative trees and Salvation Army bell ringing. Usually at this time of year I am one of the ringers but, with all the various trials and tribulations of the past few months, it just wasn’t to be.
