Hobbies and Sports

I am an avid bridge player. If you play, you should look at this hand, played by Giorgio Belladonna. (According to some sources, when the dummy came down, Belladonna paced around for several minutes puffing on a cigarette, head in hand, then sat down and played without hesitation.)

I also enjoy skiing, biking with family, and I practice Chen Man Ching Style (Short Form) Tai Chi Chuan. My Tai Chi teacher, Lenzie Williams, is a senior student of Ben Lo, who in turn was a senior student of Chen Man Ching.
