This is my third year playing bridge here in Leavenworth with Betsy, Hilda and Karen. We play at the Senior Center on Wednesday afternoons.

I had the most spectacular hand today. It’s the best hand I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve been playing this game since the early seventies. I believe it may have been a compulsory course in hanging out in the arts lounge at the University of Manitoba back then.

Back to the hand. Twenty-nine points and all 4 aces. Amazing!

Bridge is a challenging game. There’s always something new to learn. And of course different conventions are followed by different players.

Do you play bridge?
