Club #75: Houston Bridge Studio in Houston, TX

August 27

I somehow got the address of the wrong Houston Bridge Club in my GPS, but I was able to rally and show up on time. Up to this point, 41 tables was the biggest game I have played, today that total was topped by 10. This is another full service club, run by Terry Currie. With 51 tables in play it was a full house, though they may have been able to get more if they didn’t have so much food and so many desserts. I played with District 16 Director, Dan Morse, who had six desserts prior to the game. He then proved he plays well on a full stomach as we were first overall with a 70% game. This Saturday afternoon game drew many of Houston’s top players. I’m now finished with the seven day tour of Texas, where the average high temperature was 106 degrees. I thank Texans for an enjoyable week and wish you some cooler weather! Now I turn in my rental car, fly to Denver and rent another one.
