There's Hope for the World--through Bridge

I am addicted to on-line bridge with www.bridgebase.com I have myself randomly assigned to a table when I log in (unless my friend Betty Jo is on line) and it's amazing the people I get to play with from all over the world. Just today I played with people from the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Egypt and Malta. I have played with Bulgarians, South Africans, Israelis and Canadians as well as all kinds of folks from the US. Today there were 2 students from Hungary--age 17 and 18--who were really fun. They said that they had taken bridge courses and learned also from other students. Bridge is very popular among young people there. Their English was excellent and we also "spoke" French with a nice lady from Egypt. And in the past few days I have played with BBO members from England, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Iceland and India. It's a great bridge world out there!
