The last card you see in Texas Holdem is known as "The River." And the last place we see in life is the River Styx. One way or the other, we're all headed to a river. I am a retired journalist. I created this blog as a place to store observations and memories as well as some old articles written during my career that still might have universal appeal. The posts will be general interest and could touch on a wide range of topics. Comments are always welcome.
