The two youngest grandsons are visiting for a week. The seven year old announced upon arrival that he wanted to learn to play bridge. I laid out an easy 4 spade hand for him; explained that he had to "bid" to play the hand. He grasped the concept of which card takes a trick fairly quickly but, when the lesson was over, he said, "That was really fun but I don't get the bidding part". Yep - smart guy - zeroed in on the problem immediately. I'm hoping some day to "get" the bidding part too. Five more grandchildren still to hook. Maybe, when I'm in the home, 3 of them will show up and play a few hands with me. More likely not but what is life without hope?
