- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

Ben Franklin:
A little overbidding may breed mischief...for want of a jack, a contract was lost; for want of a contract, a match was lost; for want of a match, a championship was lost.
A benevolent player should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his partner in countenance.
Never leave for the next round a bid you can make right now.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. (This may have nothing to do with bridge, but it bears repeatiing.)

Well, Johnny's in the North seat, givin them a doublin'
I'm in the South seat, playin' for the government
Man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
kibitzin with a cough....wants to get it paid off
Look out kid it's something you did
Gods knows when
but but he's finessin you again
better duck all your kings and queens
lookin for few wins
Man in the cookskin cap
in the big pen says he wants 11 tricks
you only got 10.
Bob Dylan

I read the news today, oh, boy,
about a man who almost made the grade
Although the news was rather sad
I just had to laugh and
I saw the photograph
He went down 3 in one cold slam
He hadn't noticed that an opp showed out
The open room all stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
No one was really sure if he would
ever come back for more
