I find enough drama in my life without trying to create any through serious card play. <br />As a professor of mine once said: "Take life seriously; just don't take yourself too seriously."<br /><br />Mikey: Yeah - those damn partners are always making things difficult. In reference to that dilemma, I heard my Cousin-B4 over the weekend remark: "I just don't want to make a mistake and get yelled at." (He is a fantastic euchre player, BTW.)

I know of occasions when people won't even stand up from they chair in order to continue with a winning strike, LOL! <br /><br />Hoping for a loaner hand for you too, good luck!!!sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14803905890106683284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493931967911268192.post-5269567224780056072009-07-26T10:00:19.865-04:002009-07-26T10:00:19.865-04:00No surprises here.
