Tim Timmons

Scattershooting about the meaning of life . . . and other deep subjects (like, why do hot dogs taste better with coney sauce . . . and why are some coney sauces sweet while others are not) . . . * * * WHETHER WE are talking about our paper in Crawfordsville or The Times…

Tim Timmons is missing in action this week, but he must be hiding somewhere warm and out of this chilly weather because we can’t find him or his column anywhere. Hopefully, we’ll find him wandering around and will have his column back and ready for next week.

Just scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to Alfred E. Neuman . . . * * * WOW, IT’S amazing how life changing a . . . life-changing event is (careful, no one ever accused me of being the smartest guy in the room). For those who don’t follow these weekly ramblings, I had a heart…

I love Christmas! From early, early memories more than 60 years ago of watching for Santa, to the year I found car keys in my sock (and a payment book), to early years of marriage and walks in the snow, to a few years later and seeing our girls fly down the stairs on Christmas…

I remember when I was in high school, the English department added a few different courses my senior year – one of which was philosophy. I liked pondering the big questions – like Bill Cosby’s query, why is there air – so I signed up. That led to some great arguments at home. You know,…

Boy, this time of year sure can be tough on some of us. I feel like I’m always too hot because I bundled up too much or too cold because I didn’t. And then when the furnace in the office kicks on with the intensity of a noon-day sun, well, I was glad the place…

By Tim Timmons Tomorrow is the day we set aside to offer thanks. In a world where way too many of us focus on the negatives, perhaps we might keep a few things in mind? According to our government, 16,673 of our friends and neighbors have died from this pandemic. The population of Crawfordsville is…
