Leap Day

It’s Leap Day! It also happened to be bridge night. Now, I’m not usually one to take extra advantage of Leap Day, but to some, today is an extra day to do something–anything–so long as it’s a positive activity.  Do something MORE.  Do something you might never do on the boring other 365 days of the year.  The expression, “Seize […]

Family Comes Around

This week at bridge, one of our regulars had quite a remarkable story to share… To start, I will refer to this friend as Sean. Sean is a doctor who grew up in the south.  Sean comes from a very religious background.  Sean, however, is gay, and his family doesn’t necessarily approve. Sean has a wonderful husband.  Both Sean and […]

My husband and […]

The First Post

Hello, readers.  My name’s…oh wait.  I swore not to share names. Ok then, where do I begin? Hopefully by now, you have a sense of what I want to get out of this blog.  One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2016 is to “write more,” but that just sounds lame.  Blogging appears to be the craze this day and age […]

Welcome to our bridge blog!

About 8 years ago, I decided to do what every typical mid-20s actor in their life does…I moved to the mecha of all actors…the fabulous, gross, beautiful, grungy, never-a-dull-moment, New York City! Little did I know that only a few years later I would be playing bridge (for those of you reading this who are my age, bridge is a […]
