I'm not begging, but if you'd like to play bridge tomorrow at 11:00, I'd love to hear from you. :)  I'll post another note tomorrow morning with who's planning to play. I'm always looking for singles as well! If I can't find you a partner, it's always great to have you help fill a half table when there is one.

Need volunteers for this evening's "Introduction to Bridge" class, see below. :)

I'm still in Florida, and expect to be away from home for roughly another three weeks. My sister is getting a break, and she'll return to Florida on Labor Day weekend. I'll start my trek back shortly after that.

Meanwhile I've been getting great help from Dave White, Paula Oliveras, and Bob McBroom with the directing. My mobile "online bridge teacher" studio has worked out fine, and I've managed to meet all of my classes. I have plans for more, but I won't make any more commitments until I'm back home in California.

Tonight for the first time I'm offering lesson one of Bridge Basics I - Introduction through PCC Extension. We opened the class up to twenty students, and it's a sellout. I have a couple of students who are doubling up, and one who can't make the first class, so I have a few empty seats that I'd love to fill with flesh-and-blood bridge players. (The Shark Bridge robots are fine, but, hey.)

If you're interested in kibitzing and following suit with brand new players, or just curious to see how the hell I'm going to do this, drop me a note and I'll send you the connection information. I'll ask you to play quietly unless you're in a breakout room.

I'm also in the midst of a new ACBL certification program for online bridge teacher best practices. As part of that program I was able to offer some tips and tricks to the Shark Bridge developers, and they featured me in a blog post for their teachers.
