This site is a collection of things I have written or found on various subjects that interest me. The subjects are so varied that almost no one else will be interested in all of them. The pages that are now on board are:

Short Essays: I'm going to write some brief essays and group them under this page. They will be on a variety of subjects.

Bridge: This page has attachments that are PDF files of bridge articles. Some of the articles detail the agreements that my partner Brian Lewis and I have to handle various situations. Others are articles about hands of interest.

Chapter: I have the first chapter of my novel in progress on this page. I will probably replace it with another chapter soon.

Ice River: This page will have various items attached that relate to the setting of my novel in progress. Right now there is a map of the Ice River Valley attached.

Heili: I'm going to put pictures here. I'm starting with some baby pictures of my great-niece Heili. She is a mature six and one-half now but these are from her infancy.

Poetry: Sometimes I write poetry, I have to admit. I have some of it on this page.

PTB: This page has attachments that are PDF files of poker fiction.

Reviews: I am putting reviews of books here. I may review a film or other media item on occasion but it is mostly going to be books. I will review fiction, often fantasy or science fiction and also books about baseball, bridge, poker and roleplaying games. 

The Horde: The Horde is a Science Fiction short-short story.

Links: I will make a separate page for links if and when I accumulate a bunch of them. For now, this is a funny site: http://www.math.pacificu.edu/~emmons/JofUR/
