Does anybody play Bridge anymore?
I like to play Bridge. It's the best card game as yet undiscovered by people under age 102. My husband (the exception) learned to play in college and he taught me. For a long time, we had another couple to play with once a month but, sniff, sniff, they had to move away.
Now people humor me like a crazy nutjob when I mention Bridge and my desire to play it again soon. They just don't understand. It's best played with good friends, a stiff drink, and some jazz on the CD player. Where is your culture, people?
Or am I really just a crazy nutjob?

Hmm, "crazy nutjob?" ... I'm not a doctor, but I did watch one on TV last night ...
Regarding Bridge, never played, but it's a lot like that game 'Spades' isn't it? You bid, there's a trump suit (always spades in Spades) and you work with partner to make sure you both make your book and record points? ... I used to play in summer camp, a friend and I cheated a lot.
I prefer poker nowadays, I have a short attention span ...
Yup, it's like Spades only better. I guess I'll have to take up Poker. I met an agent over the weekend who wrote a book about Texas Hold'em. What do you play?
