HI THERE, AND WELCOME TO BEAUTIFUL RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. I MOVED DOWN HERE FROM NEW YORK AFTER 21 YEARS OF MARRIAGE AND REALIZED THAT, AS MY BROTHER ADAM HAD BEEN TELLING ME FOR YEARS, EVERYTHING IS NICER HERE. EVERYONE HERE IS FRIENDLY AND CORDIAL AND POLITE.......HEY, THAT SOUNDS KINDA LIKE A TIGER!
SHORTLY AFTER I MOVED DOWN HERE IN 1998 ADAM FORCED ME TO BUY A COMPUTER (NO GUN INVOLVED) AND WHEN WE GOT DONE HOOKING IT UP HE TOLD ME THAT "IN A FEW WEEKS YOU WILL BE CHATTING WITH STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET." USING FAIRLY CLEAR LANGUAGE, I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT HE WAS AN IDIOT.......YA RIGHT.
I STARTED PLAYING SPADES AT IGAMES IN THE FALL OF 1998 AND SOON DISCOVERED MY PARD TO BE (KNOWN IN THE JUNGLE AS TIGER_SHA).
WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS, AND I HOPE THAT WE NEVER STOP.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, WE BECAME FAIRLY PROFICIENT AT THE GAME, AND IN THE SUMMER OF 1999 I HAD A SEVERE BRAIN CRAMP AND DECIDED TO TRY TO WRITE AN INSTRUCTIONAL BOOK ON SPADES. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE CRAMP SUBSIDED, AND MY BOOK, HOW NOT TO LOSE AT SPADES, WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY OF 2001.
WRITING AND PRODUCING AND MARKETING THE BOOK HAS BEEN AN EXPERIENCE UNLIKE I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED, AND HAS AFFECTED MY LIFE IN WAYS THAT I NEVER COULD HAVE GUESSED. IN FACT, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BOOK, SHA AND I NEVER WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED OUR TIGER FAMILY......WHAT A NICE REWARD.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN ABOUT THE BOOK, PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE AT WWW.SPADESBOOK.COM. IF YOU ARE SO KIND AS TO PURCHASE A COPY, I SAY THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, AND SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE BOOK HELPS YOU TO HAVE EVEN MORE FUN PLAYING SPADES THAN YOU DO NOW.
BESIDES WRITING, I LOVE NATURE AND WATERSPORTS (I'D REALLY RATHER BE WINDSURFING), AND LOVE TO SPEND TIME WITH MY BROTHER, HIS WIFE SUZY, AND MY ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, ADOPTED ON THE DAY HE WAS BORN, NEPHEW JASON, AND MY ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, ADOPED ON THE DAY SHE WAS BORN, NIECE KAYLIN. I ALSO HAVE A PET COCKATIEL BIRD, HUMPHREY, WHO IS 20 YEARS OLD....NOT BAD FOR A GUY WITH AN AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF 8 YEARS. I LOVE HIM TO DEATH.
OH YA, I DON'T SEE ALL THAT WELL, SO WHEN WE CHAT PLEASE EXCUSE MY CAPITAL LETTERS. IF I INTEND TO YELL, I'LL BE SURE TO LET YA KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.
I HAVE RARELY MET A JOKE I DIDN'T LIKE, AND TRULY BELIEVE THAT LAUGHTER IS THE MOST VALUABLE GIFT THAT WE CAN GIVE TO ONE ANOTHER (IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE MY BOOK, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEDICATION PAGE TO BEST UNDERSTAND WHY I PLAY SPADES ON THE NET).
