Bridge classes start again in September

Fall 2017

This fall I begin anew with a two series of classes from Audrey Grant's acclaimed Better Bridge series.

In September and October, I'll feature Bridge Basics 1 - An Introduction on five Wednesday evenings starting September 13.

Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding will follow immediately after, starting on October 18 for five Wednesdays.

Bridge Basics 1 is the starting course for brand new bridge players. If you've been through the class once, you'll be amazed how much you discover on a repeat visit.

If you are already a regular club player, you will especially enjoy the Competitive Bidding series. This class will help you both find your own great contracts and make mayhem of the opponents' auctions. It's all about getting the best score for your partnership.

My trip to Toronto

I had a great week at the Summer NABC in Toronto. If you drop by the BridgeMojo Facebook page you can see pictures and comments.

While there I spent two days with Audrey Grant at her teacher convention held with Seabourn Cruise Line. A great time to snap a selfie with Audrey!

Oh yes, the Nationals in San Diego!

This might sound odd, but the best place to enjoy bridge as a new player is at the North American Bridge Championships. Really!

The NABC is held three times a year, in various locations around the country. This November the NABC comes to San Diego's Manchester Grand Hyatt from Nov. 23 through Dec. 3.

Every day will feature bridge games for new and intermediate players and celebrity speakers. Check out the full schedule here at acbl.org. Jane and I will be there most of the week, playing and enjoying San Diego.

And with that ...

Jane and I are hitting the road tomorrow for the Great American Eclipse of 2017. We've had a spot reserved since last year at the Idaho Dunes RV Park, a little north of Idaho Falls. It should be good for a little over two minutes of totality.

Here in L.A. you'll have a great partial eclipse, over 60%. You don't have to do anything special to see it, just walk under some trees. You'll see little images of the eclipse all over the ground. The tree leaves make great pinhole cameras!

See you all soon!
