Duplicate bridge is a game of skill, not luck, so it hones your mind and keeps it sharp. When things go back to normal, you can find a good duplicate bridge club near you and start playing there, and eventually find a partner you really like as it's a partnership game.

Then I discovered my husband LOVES backgammon. When he offered to teach me, I picked up the Jonathan Adler Op Art set for 30% off on Horchow!Carriehttps://disneytravelbabble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-9696704120637518922020-04-08T13:46:30.021-04:002020-04-08T13:46:30.021-04:00I am hoping to snag one too - I have found that ev...I am hoping to snag one too - I have found that everything shows up eventually on eBay.
