While driving to the bridge club tonight, I was listening to AM Radio 1080 in Dallas, TX.  It was the top of the hour local news.  The radio announcer started the evening news with the following line…

“Tonight, we open the bidding with 1NT.  Donald Trump will not be participating in the Republican debate tomorrow night.”

I’m not sure if the announcer is a bridge player or the person writing his script is the one with knowledge about the game. 🙂  I knew it was a good sign for my evening duplicate game!
