Most of these articles were published in a monthly community magazine which restricted the size of each piece to approximately 200 words. While this often restricted the article, it also generated bite-sized items which are highly consumable by our short attention span society. A few of the pieces are longer, more detailed items.
You can download a copy of any of these by merely clicking on the title. Feel free to share these pieces as you see fit. All we ask is a small attribution. Enjoy!
