As Lee and I reflect on our Crystal Cruise, we had a great time.  The Symphony was lovely, the food and entertainment great, and the bridge players were abundant.

We both taught bridge on the two cruises.  Lee taught beginning bridge, doing a terrific job, averaging 24+ students.  At the end of his course I offered a supervised play for the beginners.  I averaged about 40+ students in my intermediate class; they loved the Doubles course material and the “hands on” approach.  We had a card room full of enthusiastic players on all seadays on both cruises, averaging 11+ tables of bridge.  It was very satisfying to us to have such great participation.

All the hoopla surrounding President Obama’s speech to school children got me thinking about education.  I hope to stimulate some discussion here, from our wisdom (?) of age, and our own experience.  Many of The Daily Recap readers are former teachers, and all of us are former students, so there must be some insight out there,  Let’s hear it!

Here are my thoughts, radical though they may be.

In anticipating the changes in procedures that will be necessary in our new quarters, some "player effects" came to mind.  No longer will we have to hurry away after a game -- we can sit and socialize, discuss hands, or just wait for results.  No more standing around, shuffling back and forth, with no place to relax.  This should result in a more convivial and quiet atmosphere at the end of games.

This is probably the finest Bridge Club Web-Site in the State. It is about Local Bridge Players, written by Local Bridge Players, and intended for Local Bridge Players. What can I do to support it?

He plays bridge like a Life Master. (I was going to say, 'like the Life Master he isn't,' but reconsidered.)

He has a great sense of humor. (I hope so anyway.)

He can fix anybody's computer problems. (Ever notice, his initials are PC.)

He has developed the best website our club could ever imagine we'd have. He maintains the site with utmost care, affording us the most timely news and the most interesting articles. The articles he prepares demonstrate his professionalism and skill.

If this is a guessing game, I'm guessing 100% of you didn't have any trouble with this one!

Google is both a "Search Engine" and an advertising supplier to other sites. As a Search Engine, it is uparalleled. It loads up fast, searches well and fast, and labels "sponsored" results clearly. Some search engines do the same thing but don't let you know the result was bought and paid for.
