I have been away from home for six months working and can only play on BBO. I took a beginner’s class with Deb Crisfield last winter. She’s terrific.

I look forward to getting home and playing in person with actual human beings, even though it is a little more stressful. But I think all of us beginners feel that way and it is a part of learning. And it is nice to be in the same boat with people as we set off into the game.
