Let Her Ride

"The Blind Leading the Blind!"

Everyone knows this term and I didn't know until last night that Erica Hancock and I were both blind (its amazing that we have been able to cover the secret up for so long!) This is what Than said about us when Erica told him that she was teaching me how to play bridge.

I'm on here to demand an explanation! Am I really that slow in picking up how to play games or is Than just jealous that both Erica and I could demolish him in a game of nertz?

Despite the verbal bashing I received I enjoyed myself immensely. Erica is one of the few people that will play nertz with me and so we played two rounds. It was only supposed to be one round but Erica thought it was just luck that I won the first time so I had to demonstrate my cat like speed and reflexes to her a second time :) . Its ok Erica, you should feel privileged that I will even play with you, I have been told that I'm a nertz snob :) !!

After that she showed me how to play bridge. Researching the game I've realized that it is an old rich lady game, kind of funny. I love playing it, even though I am horrible at math and poor Erica had to be patient with me. The funny thing about this is the fact that at certain times its appropriate to use the term ( lets be honest, I can't even remember now even though I wrote it down.) Instead I conjured up let her ride and kept saying that even though Erica told me the proper term over and over again. It was a joke by the end of the night, but my bloody heck, its seriously bugging me that I still can't remember the proper term.

Thanks for being patient with the mentally retarded + blind girl Erica, I enjoyed myself and I think you are a great teacher! :)
