My Mom and I played duplicate bridge for years before she passed away. But since 2008, I have not found a new regular partner and so now time and again I play with different people. I enjoy duplicate bridge but two things frustrate me. To begin with most of the people I play with are very nice, but some take the game too seriously and after each hand immediately tell me about the things that I should have done better. They mean no harm, but their constant criticisms are not pleasant. In addition, more often than not we place near the bottom.
But yesterday, I luckily found a new partner. Usually a few days before the game, I look through my bridge directory and call several people to ask if they can play. Well the other day, I called a number of players, but none of them were available. So, I started on page one of the directory to look through the book for a possible partner. Finally, near the end, I spotted Sky’s name. I had seen her often at the bridge club and she seemed very nice. Thus, I called her and was pleased when she agreed to play. But best of all, she was also a very polite lady and never found fault with me even once and at the end of the day we discovered we came in second place. WooHoo…Happy Day. Of course, we then decided we definitely want to play bridge together more often.
