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!

- Do defensive beers count if diamonds are trumps?
- We're on it Chris, thanks for the suggestion. Greg Humphreys, will certainly be given the opportunity to explain his beer card tattoo. Do you suggest anyone else?
- World championships individual
- Sjoert, I love that you shared your list of the top 32 players in the world. When Adam Grossack told me such a list existed, I couldn't wait to see it. I think the tournament is a great idea, and I wonder how many of your invitees will join ...
- Play 6!d here
- I would have played ace of hearts and then queen of hearts
- Unprecedented opportunity to teach new people bridge (help needed)
- Tracey, I was thinking about writing the same exact post. Thank you for writing it. I will put you in touch with Amaresh, mentioned by Dave above. It actually might make sense to record something too.
