About Chris, sort of

This is really me.

I’m supposed to talk about myself here–the software tells me so.

I’m Chris, the guy who always wears suspenders. I’ve been playing bridge since I was 18, and hope to learn how any day now.

I’m pushing up on 5000 points, which is what you get if you win 100 points a year for 50 years. Or 10 points a year for 500 years, which is what it often feels like. Not good, just stubborn as hell.

They got me to write the Unit column for the Contract Bridge Forum by promising me a puppy, which nobody has delivered on yet.

I decided to write a blog because I can’t stand writing a column that will be published in 3 or 4 weeks–there isn’t any news in it, only old. The blog I can keep fresh and enjoy talking about what is happening when it happens. And since it isn’t in the league paper or on the unit website, I can say any damned thing I want without worrying about making some brass hat cranky.
