Apologies to those of you who don't speak bridge.
Today the Kodiak Perspective is paired with a wonderful partner, Jack, who has earned many thousands of master points, has fun playing the game, and is just a delight at or away from the table. Many players are scared away by the thought of having to play in flight A, and would miss this great opportunity.
The most fun happened on board 18: N-S Vul Dlr E
Sitting South, The Perspective picks up a monster hand,
Spades:AK Hearts: void Diamonds:KQJ73 Clubs:KQ9742
Dealer Passes, South opens 1 Club, pass, 1 Diamond by partner, dealer who is not vulnerable enters the fray with 1 Heart, now is the time to show the beauty of the South hand with 2 Hearts (support of Diamonds, and strong), East supports partners Hearts and locates the Ace of Clubs with a cue bid of 3 Clubs, such a wild auction, but now it gets even better, Jack sitting North gives a western cue of 3 Spades showing the Ace of Hearts while denying a high Spade! Three cue bid in a row!! Dealer passes as the auction is now too rich for her blood, and it is decision time, partners bid opens up the chance at 3NT, but with this holding it is time to unleash 6 Diamonds.
The play is uninteresting, as the hand plays itself, but what a joy for a +1370.
This is a 2 session game, so there will be more fun tonight.
True words.

OK, so bridge must be infinitely more fun to play than to read. It kind of translates to listening to golf on a radio... If only the old people had invested the time and patience to teach it, instead of beating me with a switch for interrupting..
