Dear Magazine Readers,

In a shameless exercise in self promotion, I want to let you all know I've started a new 2+2 blog. I put a similar notice up in the Books and Publication section and the first question was, "who are you?" It's a fair question, and the honest answer is I'm absolutely no one.

2+2 has been generous enough to give me a shot based on some of the essays I've submitted to the Magazine, though I suspect it was mostly to get rid of me as I couldn't seem to stop kept sending them inappropriately light material. "Here sonny," they were essentially saying, "take this plastic pail and shovel and go dig yourself a few holes."

So I did. If you ever find yourself desperate for something to do in between hands, I hope you'll check it out. It's been a week and I've so far got a grand total of 1 comment and that's a little embarrassing, so anything in the way of feedback, comments, insults, brick bats, whatever you feel like, would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

A.N.

+1 for a willa cather reference.

-1 for pretentiousness though . I regretted it the next day, even though it's an older piece and you'd think I've had sufficient time to reconsider...

tbh, it's refreshing to read a well-written poker article.

That's really very much appreciated.

Very nice! BTW, Hebrew. The OT is in Hebrew (except for Wisdom and Maccabees, I think) Aramaic is NT.
