You'll laugh, you'll cry, and find thought-provoking articles and commentary in this collection of over seventy short articles written by Paul Scifres. The book is a culmination of over seventy short articles that try to make sense of different things, hence the title Descifred, a play on the author's last name.

The writings are divided into three subtopics: "Just for Fun," "Commentary," and "Reminiscing. " The first section will elicit a chuckle while the second offers thought-provoking comments and at times biting commentary.

The concluding section is reminiscing about the joys and sometimes poignant memories of the author's life. The articles have been written over a period of about twelve years targeted for small west Texas newspapers.

After his retirement, the author put these short stories into this collection. The articles are in the range of six hundred to seven hundred words and are deliberately written in easy-to-understand language designed for the enjoyment of readers from late grade school to highly educated discerning adults.

The book is also family friendly that readers will not find offensive. With his years of experience in writing articles covering meetings, conducting interviews, and local events, the author's unique writing style has been conveyed in this collection of short articles.
