I was thinking about this today - not bridge so much - but the evolution of interests and activities as you age. When you're young, you look forward to them (for example, going to bars regularly). When I was in my late 20's it was joining a club and playing golf. But at a certain age the excitement of doing these "adult" or "older person" things transcends into fear. For example, bridge. That's just a small step away from Bingo night and then death. Frightening.The very thought of a GYERO Bridge Club, with all the redass and chirping, makes me chuckle.
You all are starting to get up there in age. It’s the next logical step in your evolution.

BBdK is really into his bowling league.
Living anywhere in Kentucky outside of northern Kentucky means you have ZERO geographical relation to any NFL franchise. None.
The people of Cincinnati have as much respect for the state of Kentucky as Kentuckians have for Indiana.
Bengals fans deserve to enjoy this moment. However, anyone can piss off with the notion that we should support that fuking city.
I just look at it as life running it’s course. I think learning new things throughout life actually helps keep you MORE youthful.
Yeah, bridge IS an old person’s game (it is NOW anyway, it wasn’t always) but anything that makes you exercise your mind, gets you out, and away from couch/TV is going to be beneficial, in spite of the stigma.

My parents took me to see UK win it in 1978. It was very gratifying to return the favor and take my mom in 1996 and my dad in 2012. (1998 was all buddies).
Since then, I've been *dying* to take my son and pass the torch. Plans made, just need the Cats to take care of business. And I think they will.
Pittsburgh, Dallas, Green Bay, Cincy, and Nashville are all apparently equidistant from Kentucky... 
let’s drop it. I’m sorry I even brought it up.

McVay looks like a Bengals fan. He is from Dayton so makes sense.
Always wanted to learn bridge. Parents played. One of the few things my parents did together.
With dad's passing, mom had bridge at least once a week, and some bowling.
85 year old mom recently had a stroke and will probably not play again. It is one of the few things she had, other than attending grandkids sporting events. Prior to stroke, she could already tell her sharpness was off. Friend mentioned to my sister that she was slowing down and her partners could tell. All that play with her are in the same age range so it probably reminds them of their own mortality.

My parents were in a couples bridge club, but my Mom was apparently the stronger player. She was also in two other women’s only clubs. I remember her playing several times a month, and sometimes she’d host.
I just know that the only time we got “Coke” in the house was when she was having them over. That, and the house got filled with cigarette smoke (neither of my parents drank or smoked, but those old women in her club did both, with abandon)

Yep. Wake up to stale chips, peanuts and scent of creme de menthe.
When dad died, the only reason she kept the country club membership was for bridge.

I wanna see Burrow light up a stog on the damn field.
Damn. You captured it perfectly. I mean, I was taken back to my childhood in a flash.
Outstanding.
Bowling is incredible. Looking forward to joining a league at LaRue Lanes, my favorite house, once the kids get a bit older and I can maybe get that weekly Thursday night hallpass.
Congrats on bringing it home with the turkey, BBdK. That’s how you close.

It’s so damn fun & challenging. Worship.
I know you hate movies but you should watch The Big Lebowski.Won the title Thursday. Smooth 180 for dog dad with a closing Turkey
Props to the NFL on the opening of the Super B. The fly over, the songs and performances. When we see it done well, it reminds why we are unified by music and patriotism.
Kudos also to the NFL players singing the national anthem.

Seeing those Bengal helmets in the Super Bowl is surreal.
The Clown once rolled a smooth 115 in the league finals, to nail down the “Most Improved Bowler” trophy (actually it was a patch)

Not a good bowler but 1000% would love to play in a league.
Hard work to in inactive and get a fifteen yard penalty in the Super Bowl. Zero chance that idiot would be on my sideline ever again.
I really don’t like how much money these crypto companies have to spend one Super Bowl commercials considering I’ve decided it’s a fad.
Everyone thinks that (that hasn’t bowled in a league) but by the last third of the season it gets tiresome.
The two people that absolutely no one wants to hear their thoughts about this halftime show are obviously the first two to comment on it.
