The Backwash Squeeze and Other Improbable Feats
The Backwash Squeeze and Other Improbable Feats: A Newcomer's Journey into the World of Bridge | Edward McPherson
1 post
At one time the game was even bigger than baseball. Today bridge is played by more than twenty-five million people in the United States alone, with Bill Gates, a sitting Supreme Court justice, and the guys from Radiohead among its devotees. In this spirited homage, Edward McPherson recounts the colorful history of the game and his attempts to master its mysteries in time to compete at the North American Bridge Championshipsdespite being barely able to shuffle cards, let alone play competitively. Insightful, funny, and steeped in respect, The Backwash Squeeze is an affectionate view of a grand game by an outsider trying to make his way into the inner circle.

I have been teaching myself bridge for the last few months with books and apps. It is fiendishly complicated! 😈 #nelson #dogsoflitsy #greyhound

dabbe @AlaMich We had two greyhounds, Babs and Pete. Babs was faun-colored, and Pete was black with a white star on his chest. They are such incredibly wonderful dogs. 🖤 2mo
