Queries, Quips and Quotes

"When I take a 50-50 chance I expect it to come off 8 or 9 times out of 10."

Hideous Hog

(Victor Mollo)

 

One of my favorite series of bridge books is the Victor Mollo series which began with 'Bridge in the Menagerie.  They are set at a rubber bridge club in England and his cast of characters from the Rueful Rabbit to Secretary Bird to Hideous Hog gave me hours of entertainment.  I can promise that in his descriptions of the foibles of these characters you will find people you know and play with....he captured them perfectly.  In addition you'll find some very interesting bridge hands!

Hi All,
  
I'm not going to send a newsletter every week but I think I finally got all my e-mail addresses current so I couldn't resist putting together another newsletter.....and how could I miss the chance to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!
Bridge with Patty

 

We walk with some bridge friends of ours every Sunday at the river and this Sunday was no different.   My husband was going to take our dog, Tate, for a run with him...I was going to continue walking.  A few minutes later here come Kevin and Tate running to catch up with me.  It seems that after I turned around and left them Tate refused to go in the other direction.  He sat down and wouldn't move.  I guess Tate was afraid I was being left!
