We played bridge again, and every time we learn something new.  We learn about how to play bridge, of course, but we also learn about the club.  Today we waited patiently for the print-outs so we could compare our boards against the other east-west players.  Just like last week, though, it seemed like everyone got their print-out except us!  Well, another newbie saw us going through old papers and looking perplexed.  She told us that we had to sign up for a print-out, otherwise we don't get one.  Now we know.

My partner had two great ideas.  First, we are going to stop saying that we are new players because people seem to be quite bossy telling us how we should be playing.  Many times I am sure they are right, but sometimes I think not.  Also, we are going to wait until the end of the boards at a particular table before we tell them our names.  If we played particularly poorly, we will remain anonymous :)
