Welcome to the Bri Blogs
Please bear with me as this blog page unfolds into whatever collection of writings it becomes.
Here, you'll find all of the BriRun Blogs I wrote for the Grand Rapids Marathon, my series on Offbeat Ways to Remember How to Spell Hard Words, and whatever babbles I think are worth publishing on a site I pay for.
Take a look, share your thoughts, and happy reading!
