My son and I have worked out an incentive plan for me to do better at Bridge (which isn’t working yet). The plan is – if I win a session at Bridge I get to buy myself a little Pandora charm for my new bracelet. If I come second I get to buy a spacer… If I win a competition I get to buy an expensive charm…

Tonight I played in the mixed pairs consolation plate. Yes that means we didn’t make the cut for the final despite partner’s best efforts.

We didn’t win. Oh we didn’t come last but there were too many disappointing boards – even when we did the right thing – but if I’m honest – mostly when I did the wrong thing.

Oh that 6D – the agony!!

Partner is very patient but I sit there thinking… he must think me an absolute fool… however, my attitude is – beating myself up doesn’t make for a fun game and if I can’t be a great player – at least I should be pleasant company. brand viagra online Some examinations later proved that health conditions like stress, depression, vascular disease, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and neurological diseases are reported to cause more than 70% of the ED cases.

How come this never worked for golf? With golf I was never going to be a brilliant player – but I hated being bad so much it spoiled my whole game… I am not a good golf player – and by that I mean – I am not an easy going golf player… you know the kind.

The thing with Bridge is that I so love playing cards that even when I lose (often) I still really enjoy the experience of playing. Of course it is more fun to win and I hate disappointing the person I play with… and I think the self-deprecation wears thin after a while – or at least that’s the impression my LSP is giving… Bless him.

But I must admit – I would like to become a good Bridge player. Maybe I need to give up my day job… 🙂
