Sorry, I don’t think the link I just posted for Sunday’s column works. Could it be possible that I made a technical error? Will try again later, when I can get a grandkid to help:) Sorry for the delay. – Tim

Longtime readers know that I am prone to vacation blunders, mishaps and occasional disasters. A recent trip to Mexico was no exception. My wife and I sat in the seats next to the exit on the flight from Boise to Phoenix. Before we took off, a flight attendant woke me from dozing (we’d gotten up at 3:30 a.m.) by blurting out a mostly unintelligible – to us, at least – pronouncement. He finished by looking expectantly at me and saying I needed to answer him in the affirmative. I did. Neither of us has the hearing of a teenager. After he left, we looked at each other and confessed that neither of us had understood a word of what he’d said. Across the aisle,…
From now on, I’ll be posting the Statesman link to my columns. Just click on the following link to read the latest one. If you have problems, please let me know using the comment mode. Thanks? — Tim http://www.idahostatesman.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/tim-woodward/article206672424.html
Dear readers, My columns are now running monthly in The Statesman rather than every other week, and I’ll be focusing more now on Idahoans with interesting stories. I could use your help with that. Idaho is home to lots of people with interesting stories, but finding them can be a challenge. If you know of someone who has had an interesting life, has an unusual occupation, pastime or tale to tell – or is maybe just a colorful Idaho character – I’d love to hear from you. Examples of people I’ve profiled in the past range from buckaroos, inventors, high-rise crane operators and others with uncommon lines of work to people with unusual hobbies or collections to a woman whose expensive dental work was…
Note to Readers: Apparently some of you were able to read this column by clicking on The Statesman link and some weren’t. I’ll do my best to have the technical difficulties fixed for the next one. For those of you who couldn’t get the link to work, here’s the column in the regular format. — Tim Dick Dahlgren knows what it takes to enjoy life. He’s skied the great resorts of the U.S. and Europe, fly fished with celebrities, run with the bulls in Spain. He also knows about being sick and depressed. He’s had prostate cancer and a major heart attack that destroyed a third of his heart muscle. He’s had two stent surgeries, surgery to install a pacemaker, breast cancer and…
Oops! It appears I made a technological blunder because the link doesn’t work. I’ll post the column tomorrow in the usual format, but you can read it now by going to www.idahostatesman.com. Sorry for the confusion. Tim
I’m trying something a little different this week. To read my latest column in The Idaho Statesman, please click on the link below. Thanks! — Tim http://www.idahostatesman.com/…/tim-w…/article199419274.html
Note to readers: This is the column The Statesman did not publish. But there’s no reason why my blog subscribers shouldn’t get it. — Tim The car pulled up slowly and stopped at the end of my driveway. The driver rolled her window down. “Who’s your doctor?” she shouted. “Excuse me?” “Who’s your doctor?” I told her. “I’m seeing her tomorrow. I think I have the same thing you do.” This was one of the more unexpected responses to my Nov. 26 column about my brush with cancer. It was, thankfully, the only one in which a reader appeared out of nowhere to interrogate me in my driveway. Many of the responses were from cancer survivors, who shared their experiences. Almost all included encouragement…
Dear Subscribers, This is the day I normally would be posting my blog, but there isn’t one to post. My editor has told me that The Statesman’s executive editor is reducing the frequency of my columns from every other Sunday to once a month because of cutbacks in the paper’s freelance budget. I’ve also been told that the one I submitted last week for yesterday’s newspaper, a followup to my November cancer diagnosis column and my October column on the dangerous railroad trestle bridge over Capitol Boulevard, either is being held or will not be published. I’m sorry not to be posting a column for you today, and sorry that this has happened. Tim Woodward
