      It's funny that both golf and bridge have clubs that involve clubs. Really makes you think.

      I have no idea of the provenance of "clubs" as a card suit, and now you've got me thinking. #makesyouthink

          I cannot resist quoting what the fictional author of my game Nemesis Macana has to say about Graham Nelson's Curses: "The story is about an attempt to penetrate the secrets of ancestors (every reader of Freud knows what that means) using a large assortment of ...
