Clippings from a Cluttered Mind e-bog

My hometown of Columbus, IN should be included in this book because of how unique it is. Without boring you with the complete history of a small town, there's maybe no easier way than to include a description of Columbus that I wrote in 2018. This particular description was not an article for the magazine. I have a friend named Allen who has written a blog probably ever since blogging began. A couple of years ago because he was going on vacation and was aware that I was writing for a magazine, asked me to write his blog for him for ten days and to use articles I had written for the magazine. I was honored to be asked to do that and I selected ten of the articles you will be reading in this book. The first travel article, "e;Impressions of Iowa,"e; was dedicated to Allen's wife, Lynn, who is an Iowa native. What follows was the introductory email to his bloggers to better explain where I come from. Since Columbus is as unique as it is, this was an enjoyable chore.
