Needless to say that I am extremely proud of my man doing this...first of all making it to the end and secondly in putting down such a good time as well...(apparently one second after his running mate Stefan) Unfortunately there are no picture as yet.
Finally he has time to do what every one needs to do when visiting the big apple...retail therapy...Barney's, Saks 5th Avenue, Macy's etc..the lot. Spend it Paul...you damn well earned it!
Played bridge for the first time here in Nagasaki with members of the Nagasaki Bridge League. A total of about 16 people (sic) are permament members and some hangers-n. I was picked up by Mizoguchi san ( a retired Mitsubishi salary man) who organizes the whole thing every week. But beware instead of the usual 24 games we play in Amsterdam we had to play 36 games...almost the whole day. They play american standard..similar to Acol but then again not...so you can imagine how worn out I was. Decided not to do this every week but once a month. Missed the 'Happy Hour' afterwards..ah well, next year again.
