For once, there's a kid driving me crazy and it's not one of mine. One of the neighbourhood kids is over hanging out with alexander. Ryu's nice enough, but he lacks social grace- and for someone who is reclusive by nature and has spent years in ths software industry to observe such a lack in someone else is usually indicative that it's a lacking in no-trump- it's past being in spades. He manages to be both loud and pedantic most of the time, so i'm escaping to the bedroom and typing this up on the laptop.

Speaking of spades and no-trump, are any of you local folk who read my ranting and rambling bridge players? I haven't had a regular contract bridge foursome since back at university, and i miss playing the game.

I think plans are to try to pull together some sort of get-together with who_is_she and loitl tomorrow afternoon, but i'm not sure where that stands. I should probably dare to go back downstairs and find their email addresses.
