- about me
I live in the mountains of western North Carolina (US) and work as a freelance editor of nonfiction. The latter was preceded by two lengthy stints as a systems engineer in the telecom industry.

- World Team Championships in China
- Curiously, the crosstable for the Bermuda Bowl (http://db.worldbridge.org/Repository/tourn/wuhan.19/microSite/Asp/crosstablerank.asp?qtournid=1640) uses scientific notation for Russia's score against Norway: "-2.000001E-02" instead of "-0.02".

- Did anyone who reads BW ever play against Buster Keaton -- or know someone who did?
- I can see it now... Don Adams: Would you believe I made a grand slam last week missing four aces? Listener: I find that very difficult to believe. Don Adams: Would you believe three aces. Listener: (shakes head "no") Don Adams: How about a one-eyed jack?
