Other Writings

Here are some other things I have written over the years, mostly of a personal and/or humorous nature.

Circa 2000 The Body Politic (poem). I wrote this poem for a salon co-hosted by my friend Michael Barrish. I have not written much poetry, and it shows. This poem is the answer to the question “what happens when you cross Karl Marx, Freidrich Nietzsche, and Ogden Nash?”

Circa 1986 Bridge for Dummies. My brother Steve and I had the great idea of writing a humorous bridge column — having very little to do with the game of bridge, which we genuinely loved –that would be syndicated in newspapers and magazines across the country. We envisioned ourselves as “the premier, under-thirty, brother-team writers of humorous bridge columns (at least in the Northeast).” We wrote a small handful of columns before we lost steam. Here are the only two columns — one of which is partially obscured — that remain in existence.

2014-2019 Rememberances of My Father Hank Winkelman. I wrote these remembrances of my dad for the IKAR Yitzkor books.

1987-1998 Party Flyers. In my twenties and thirties, I lived with roommates, and we used to throw big dance parties together. Since social media had not yet been invented, we would make flyers for the parties to distribute to all our friends (and friends of friends). I loved making the flyers. Here are three of them.
