Worlds leading theorists in bridge bidding and carding is getting serious today. At least he reached an age where he is truely a grown up.

I must admit,I thought he is even older, due to his photo, but maybe that was made at 5 O'clock in the morning after a long night out.

Happy birthday, nice to have you here!
Kind Regards

Rexford says, to misquote the bard,
“Nothings in the play of the card.”
For if your system, come what may
Cannot deliver what you say
By representing all your hand
Efficient, elegant, just like you planned
To reach the contract that you must
even when your hands a bust.
The Grand Design, reflected in the face of Chaos...it's a fluke!

I gotta admit the adventures are rather entertaining. Happy birthday from both Larry and I.

Thanks all!

I had the perfect birthday celebration. Bridge, Boston, and my Babe. Plus, lots of Booze.

Actually, no. We had done an "early turkey" the weekend before we left for Boston.

BTW -- my wife and I took the Amtrak to Boston. I wish we had run into some bridge players to pass the time. That was quite an endurance test.
