I'll be spending this week at the 2002 NABC bridge tournament right here in Houston, so I may be a little light on the posts. Today I'm playing with some friends in the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams event. It's probably the most prestigious national event. We have no realistic chance of advancing to the second round, but it's way cool to butt heads with world-class players. If you're a golfer, it's like getting a foursome together and shooting a round at the Masters.

So anyway, I'm a bridge bum this week. Don't let anything too important happen without me.
