Pet Gear Guide
Wondering what your pet really wants for Christmas? I compiled the year’s best gear for Eugene Magazine’s winter 2011 issue.
What’s Your Pet Personality?
This was one of my features for Eugene Magazine’s pet-themed issue. I asked people from exotic pet shops, Greenhill Humane Society, a local parrot rescue group and horse owners, among others, to find out what basic considerations people should give to certain type of animals that they might want to have. I was disappointed that […]
Weiner-Lininger Home Walkthrough
Merle Weiner approached me at Eugene Magazine about us possibly chronicling her and her husband’s plans to build an eco-friendly home on a large piece of property overlooking the Lorane Valley. Rarely do such large lots come up for sale in this area, which is just about 10 minutes outside of the city proper and […]
Public Art in Eugene
For this article I got to comb through huge notebooks of pieces of paper that the city of Eugene used to catalog the many items of public art. Some of the papers were hand-written, dating all the way back to the 1960s and ’70s. Of the more than 200 pieces of public art in Eugene, […]

What To Do in Your Garden in Summer
Each quarter when I wrote these gardening tips for Eugene Magazine, I would pore over my gardening file. As I look through magazines and newspapers throughout the year, I tear out the bits that seem particularly useful and informative and put them in my file. For these seasonal tips, I combed through this file and […]
What To Do in Your Garden in Spring
As editor of Eugene Magazine, one of my jobs for each issue was to gather seasonal gardening information. We published quarterly, so although my garden is nothing to brag about, I published these tidbits that sound really knowledgeable. They’re based on research, not necessarily personal experience. But these made me yearn for the garden of […]
Veterinarian Guide – Eugene Magazine
One of the things that Eugene Magazine does frequently is guides–the magazine publishes lists of local doctors, veterinarians, landscaping companies, etc. The guides aren’t so fun to read on their own but they are informative and it’s a nice way for readers to have a lot of contacts in one handy place. They’re also a […]
