The Bridge to...

So I am learning to play Bridge! It has been one of my goals for a long time (way before Warren Buffet and Bill Gates started stumping for the game). My Granny was a champion player and I remember her trying to teach me at a lake house we had one summer. My mother has been playing and while she and Garland were here we all sat down to play.

I had learned to play euchre and that helps, but now I am on a tear to learn and play. I envision us both playing (Doug and me) and then teaching the boys.

It is a civilized game that one can play all through life - like golf. I think it also represents a kind of gentility that I respect.
