jianantonicI'm home sick today. I went into work for 3 hours, finished up everything that was pressing, went to sign the contract for my new place (which I won't move into for at least 7 months, sigh), and have been home vegetating ever since. I even watched some bridge. On the internet. That's right - that was watched, not played. Cavendish Pairs from Vegas. It's actually quite interesting, for a handful of people in the world, myself included.
Like everything else - guitar, sports, the stock market - I wish I'd gotten into bridge seriously when I was younger. Then I'd be better at it now. Oh well. I'm okay, I guess. I wish I was better, though. I can improve now, sure, but if I'd been great as a teenager, I could've travelled the world on someone else's dime, playing a game I (geekishly, I know, I embrace it) love. Sigh. ;)
Anyway...I'm going to two regionals this summer...I think I'll set a goal for myself of 15 more masterpoints this summer. I don't know how much I'll get to play, so I think that's a pretty aggressive goal. Here's hoping. I picked up 12 in Gatlinburg, but I only had 30 in my whole life before that, and I did play a lot there. We'll see. Back to spectating...second session starts now.
Peace.
