My dear Patrizzio Absinthe makes the feart go Honda - (French Japanese joke probably too deep for you to understand) I would like to note that only a fellow guttersnipe would recognize the amazing art involved in the tower's perspective.
Hi all: I am just back from Palm Desert but am unable to join you for bridge tonight. Regards: David McCleery Just to confirm: I will be there. I assume it's the usual 6PM kickoff. If not, let me know. I'll probably check back here in the afternoon; otherwise you can phone me. Cheers Winston Dear Oracle, aka Mumpsimus, "The Beer-Guzzling Beeronne de Paree", et al: Since we four, (Welcome back Big Mac, sorry you can't make it.), do bitter hand-to-hand combat this even, at 6:00 pm, I'll remind Winston to send €10 as the green bread is for him anyway.
Verbose rhetoric (or maybe diarrhea) too much for me to respond to on vacation! Back on Sunday May 10 so hope to join you on 11th at Robert 's pending jet lag recovery. Congratulations O Susannah/Sarge!Giuseppe/Happy Birthday and Fondest of Fond Wishes to you today and always!/Present this card for a free weekend stay at our soon to be new home in Penticton/Burns Street B&B!/Hip Hip Hooray! For S(H)e's a Jolly Good Fellow!/ Cheers, Cora Lee and Patrizzio!
Wayne Sutherland I
would like to thank everyone. For the Birthday wishes. This was an
Extra special year for me after what I went through last August. Spent a
great evening with my beautiful wife Michele Darrow-Sutherland at the Vancouver Fish Company. Looking forward to the birth of my second grandchild this summer. Life could not be better.

With packing chores and getting ready to host bridge this evening I felt I only had time for a short outing. This being the case I dipsy-doodled my way around Olympic Villaga and Science World to Stanley Park. One Prospect Hill ascent and then two extended Lost Lagooners to return home in time to shower and change and get dinner fixings ready to pop in the oven. Stats for ride:
Hi Sarge: I came downstairs this morning to file Chloë's return but the computer was not on the wireless network, (Corinne wonders if that is due to change-over from one carrier to another.), and I didn't know what the Network Security Key happens to be. I need to file her return sometime tomorrow. Will you be home in the morning and/or will laptop be logged on to the Net? I could bring it up here but I'm not sure how to log in to wireless connection on a PC. Any help much appreciated. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hi pat the internet had to be connected because we changed couriers. It is ready to go! thanks for the great pics. Hi Flamin' and Sarge! Thanks for letting me know that connection
is up and running. Much appreciated. Glad you liked the snaps. Some good
shots of the Usual Suspects! Cheers, Patrizzio! Enjoyed another great evening of cards his evening with the three lads who
have constituted gatherings over the last few weeks, many of the group
being out of town on hols. My partner and I were hoping to put an end to
our losing streak but it was hats off to Team Mr T/Winst, 4,080, vs
Patrizzio/Rob, 2,600 with 34 hands played.
Still, congratulations to the
juggernauts as I enjoyed being steamrolled, once again, by such able,
gracious opponents! Hip Hip Hooray! Thanks for another grand evening lads. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Winston, on an extended holiday, used to live in Vancouver but has been living in Scotland for last little while, in Girvan. According to him, all of Scotland is predicted to go to the SNP other than ridings in Glasgow! AM wondering what Glasgow's thoughts might be on this crucial matter?
Next week there will be six to play so will have to draw cards for partners, much to the relief, most likely, off my ever patient long-suffering partner. Must admit that I played rather poorly as I kept making silly mistake after mistake, whether in bidding, initially, or else in how I played the various contracts we managed to establish.
One cannot know for sure, of course, but a different card here or there,
an auction slightly higher or lower, and we probably would have come
out on top, so close were many of the pivotal contracts. Still, the play
is certainly helping my understanding of what I might better do so now I
need to incorporate these lessons into my game! Bit like squash and dealing with The Sisterhood, methinks!
