Again Jeff, 

The subject matter should obviously be somehow related to astronomy, Whether
it's some of the scientific work you done. Or work other are doing that you
are versed on, the choice is yours.  I'm not picky. Your last piece on EPS
Aur was quite interesting and actually generated comments from other clubs
who receive our NL. 

Possibly a better way to pursue this is:

What thing are you working on that you could write about? 

The Deadline for the Jan Issue would best be set for Monday. That would give
me time to have Peter Mail the hard copies. 

For Feb make it 28 Jan. I'll publish a deadline list in the upcoming issue.

Again Rick,

What would you like to see as an article?
