Anyway, that is what happens when we have our tournaments, and we can't write the article for them because they think we can't write.

To be fair, they're probably right in most cases. Even bridge administrators who can write are unlikely to write in a style appropriate for a newspaper column.

To be fair? You must be reading other papers. Maybe we are just super sensitive in our house.

This 400% increase is nonsense of course but this e-mail I got last week from a teacher at 1 of our 7 elementary schools registered in the School Bridge League is not.

I believe word got around that learning and playing bridge is the thing to do. Believe it or not I have 58 students that want to learn and 50 well and mid seasoned players. We know a lot of them will drop out after a month, I've told them they have to try at least for 4 weeks to give themselves a chance to know if they like it or not. Sooooo can we get an additional day like Tuesday, it's sub day not as messy as pizza.
