    Medical update on Kim. He has begun training for a marathon. Well, not quite. He is doing great. We will post his address here as soon as we get it from Kim so you can send him a card.

    Another Mac video

    Here is another great video from Mac. He is playing in another club and they are playing a Big Club system so may not be of interest to all. We are certainly hoping to have more of these in the future as well as the possibility for some post-mortem sessions after some of our games. We are working on it. Stay tuned.

    I found clicking on Mac’s photo was easiest way to start the video.

    We “previewed” Virginia’s 99th birthday on Saturday. She was playing online with Roy. Monday is the big day. Happy birthday, Virginia. We are so fortunate that you are part of our group.

    We have some great medical news to share. Kim had open heart surgery on Tuesday. He had a valve replacement and coronary artery bypass. The folks in the operating room said Kim was the healthiest patient they have ever had. The surgery went very well and Kim is doing great. You can text him at 541.520.8807.

    Video of Mac Kibitzing Some Hands from June 9

    Here is a link from Mac. He has done his version of Kibitz the Pros from some of the hands he played in our June 9 Virtual Club game. Even if you did not play, you will find the viewing quite enjoyable.

    For those of you who played, it is worth sticking around for Max’s and Mac’s postmortem. If you played against them, they may have an insight or two for you. They debrief not only their own hands, but often are making constructive comments per the opponents’ hands.

    For those who did not play, well, I have received several comments from folks who did not play who commented how helpful it was to watch.

    These are national-level players providing this to us for gratis….an exceptional opportunity.

    Mac has indicated he will do this as often as he is able. We are grateful and fortunate.

    Thanks, Mac.

    And thanks to all who have been playing in the Virtual EBC. It is going a long way towards helping defray the fixed costs. We would expect the Board to provide some sort of accounting at the end of the month.

    New game on Saturday mornings at 10:00. Looking at second Limited Master Point Game…probably under 500. Undecided on day/time.

    Stay Safe,

    Don/Sherri

    We’re looking for a time to add a second limited master point game…probably 500 mps or less. More details on this to come later.
