Happy February to all my District 8 friends. You’ll be pleased to know this month’s column is being written by a brand-new Platinum Life Master, as I ascended to that lofty plateau at the recent Houston TX regional. There, I also met one of our most distinguished panel members, the Harold Feldheim. I promptly misdefended a hand that he declared, but Harold has agreed not to tell anyone as long as I liberally quote him this month.
