Probably the best bridge writer (not just bridge code!) I've ever read. "Nice duck partner!" "Quack!"

Happy Birthday! :)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Til lykke med fødselsdagen!

The online vugraph spectators miss your brilliant commentary. Perhaps you can find some time before your next birthday :)

I tried to find better words, but just:

Thanks for anything you did for bridge.

Have a great day.
Kind Regards

Happy Birthday to a man who gave us a gift larger than we could ever return.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Thanks friends - it has been a happy day so far!

My wife Sheri, who agrees with Josh that I am the most important bridge player ever, got me a pomegranate tree as a birthday gift :D
