We’re here! (Or at least we will be soon 😋) 

This will be the second San Francisco NABC I’ll have attended. The last one I was just in my second year of college, and a very new bridge player. I was nervous, I was excited, and I did very little sight seeing, except for one awesome evening out with a cousin of mine.

He took me to a hole-in-the-wall Korean barbeque with comic book clipouts and sharpied signatures scrawled across every inch of the place. We sat in a tucked away booth and ordered 17 or so different items. And dare I say, it was one of my favorite restaurant outings I’ve had at an NABC. I’m not sure what it’s called, but sometimes it’s more about having those finite moments you can remember later on down the road, rather than embarking on a quest to return to where you once went. 

A feat bridge players often struggle with at the table… We don’t need to keep revisiting our previous successes or shortcomings, we can take the moment in stride and look back fondly at what we’ve learned or found benefits from, but otherwise, just appreciate the moment for what it is… a moment. 

So here are a couple of moments I’m going to try to experience while I’m visiting San Fran this time!
