As an 18 year old freshman at the University of Virginia, I learned how to play bridge for the first time. My aunt Kathleen, visiting for my grandfather's funeral, said the following as I explained the house rules for Hearts, "this is stupid we should be playing Bridge." Despite what I remember as an initial protest, Kathleen won out and I don't think I played Hearts again for at least 20 years.
The first seven years of my bridge playing career were spent sporadically enjoying a game when home with my parents. My older sister Melissa often filled out those games. Sometimes, a neighbor or couple would come join us. It still boggles the mind, that I lived in New York City, for slightly less than two years after graduating, and it never even occurred to me to look for a bridge game!

- Of course! We ask all interviewees to record their end in a bathtub! Actually, no, I think it's reverb and I now know to make sure we both wear headphones for these going forward. Darn you Shireen! I liked it better in San Francisco when you couldn't talk!

- Kevin, I’m sitting here waiting for some Christmas presents to be wrapped at Scarpa, a women’s boutique here in Charlottesville, Va. I started laughing out loud when I read the bit about charging for the extraordinary services and got to share the reason for my laughter with a ...
