Husband/partner and I become very popular when the Eight is Enough games are scheduled. In these games, each player has a number, depending on the number of points which have been accumulated by said player. The total number of points of all team members can't exceed eight. This means that the killer teams of superA players don't exist. It also means that players at our level, for once, become in high demand. We are number ones (lowest of the low) and the number threes try to find good number ones to fill out the team.
This is about the only time, at the bridge club, where we are actually sought after and have to turn down multiple offers from very good teammates. I feel like the pretty, popular cheerleader in high school who turns down multiple cute guys who ask her out. Since this never happened in real life, it's another new sixth decade experience. I like it.
