Tom Valley

VALLEY: Water everywhere - not a drop in the sink

A column or two ago, I mentioned something to the effect that sometimes there are situations that appear funny IF they are happening to someone other than yourself.....more>>

VALLEY: Nine monks and Indiana Jones
Today’s column is an eclectic gathering of inane minutia that absolutely, positively must be told! (And yes, I realize that “inane minutia” is an excellent case of redundancy.)
VALLEY: A Rae of sunshine in my vacation
Pretty soon my wife and I will be heading up to the St. Lawrence. It’s our annual trip back home. It’s time to relax and bask in the glory of our mighty hometown river.
VALLEY: All in the name of fun and death
I’m in a cheerful mood and so I thought I’d write something uplifting. Something that is neither depressing nor morbid.
VALLEY: NYC trilogy conclusion — probably
My excursion to New York City included a trip to the Statue of Liberty — or as my grandson, Jack, called it: The lady in the water giving a high-five.
WEDNESDAY: NYC, part two: Pats two
This is the continuing saga of my trip to New York City. My wife and I were invited to go there along with our son, and his family.
VALLEY: I love New York
“Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today, I want to be a part of it, New York, New York ...”
VALLEY: I’ll be on 3rd base side, Section 22
I’ve become a creature of habit. I think it’s because of the sense of security that it offers.
VALLEY: The search for intelligent life (on earth)
Headline news from various parts of the world ran a parallel course last week as both Great Britain and the Vatican released statements regarding alien life.
VALLEY: Keep your ear on the ball
While traveling to my hometown in northern New York last week, I drove through a small rural village that brought back a few memories.
