I took an introduction to bridge class at a community center in 2010, enjoyed the game, but stopped playing when I started graduate school. Getting back into it now (2018), and it's great!
I started re-learning bridge because my wife wanted a game we could play together, and she did not want to play chess.
I am a PhD candidate in historical musicology at Duke University, and a lecturer in liturgical music at St Vladimir's Seminary.
