This is a good and true topic.

When I was in high school I was introduced to euchre and loved it and actually won a euchre tournament in university so that was pretty swell. But early in my working career I was lucky enough to have an older co-worker who knew bridge and taught it to me & 2 other younger co-workers on our lunch break, so pretty much every lunch the 4 of us were around we would play some hands, it was great.

I don't recall how it came about - I guess the two of us were really into bridge - but me and one of my younger co-workers decided to go to a bridge club once a week and start playing there, and it was funny because here we were in our 20s and everyone else there was 60+, we definitely stuck out. Though it was always nice to get compliments about how nice it was to see young people playing bridge, hahaha.

But yeah, it was always a great time and I loved bridge, I was reading up on articles and strategies and everything. And we were pretty good at the club, we had a good partnership, knew our bidding cues, and duplicate bridge is the most fun of all.

Anyways, I left the company but we kept doing our weekly visits, and then they became infrequent as work and life got in the way, and eventually stopped entirely, and that was many years ago. Pretty much never think about bridge nowadays, really only when I visit my parents I'll read the bridge column in the newspaper. I figure it'll be like riding a bike if I ever pick it back up again... though maybe not for the advanced techniques.

Bridge #1 and Euchre in a strong second place though, for sure.
