Make sure the degree is practical and marketable

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

Dear Dave, My husband wants to leave his job next year. He wants to go back to school full-time and finish his degree. It wouldn’t take him long to complete his studies, and we’ve both agreed it’s the best thing to do for our family. The only drawback is once he begins school, our yearly income will fall from 0,000 to about ,000. The good news is we’ll have his veteran’s stipend and tuition assistance from my job to help pay for things. During all this, once we complete Baby Step 3, should we...

The Mamdani latte

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

“Put a little extra caramel on that latte,” I told the young woman at Dunkin’ Donuts. “If you know what I mean.” “Sure,” she said, drizzling a little more caramel on the mountain of whipped cream that topped my decaf white chocolate latte. Maybe she didn’t know what I meant. Maybe she did. She was a perfectly nice woman with a slight Hispanic accent, and she’s no doubt used to the whims of older guys in plaid flannel shirts and tweed caps. I’m the color of the whipped cream. She’s the color o...

The government shutdown that Democrats love

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.” Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.” Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown. Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of government spending and debt. House Republicans passed a continuing resolution ready for the president’s...

After leaving church on Sunday, let's do some sharpening

2025/11/11

This week’s thought is taken from the parable of the lad with a dull ax, from Timothy Merrill. Once upon a time, a long time ago, a young man approached a logging crew in the verdant and forested woodlands of British Columbia. He was looking for work. The foreman asked George, for that was his name, if he could fell a tree with an ax. He had never chopped down a tree before, but how hard could it be? With nary a syllable out of his mouth, he lumbered over to a nearby blue spruce and felled it...
