Hey, got your email and all your post Memphis comments, you are such a proficient writer and i found all your "comments" humbling and so honest! I know that your hard work will pay off and i will continue to follow you. As someone once told me "bridge is not for the feint of hearts"! Being that i constantly want to improve as well and play so often sometimes i realize there are so many facets to the game and one needs to constantly be so focused on every move. It is so easy to get disappointed, frustrated and get lost in the clouds. Keep up the hard work and i know you will achieve your goals with Greg!
