It's December 1. Perhaps no one will ever read this (too late, Rich - I did! PK), but I thought I would post an update to Dr. John's advances.
Dr. John regularly plays 300-350 hands each week. (Google "BBO My Hands" and type in Gus94 and see for yourself!) He accumulates 50+points each month (google "BBO Points") playing 18-board tourneys on BBO. I only play with him Tuesdays at 7:15PM, but other people with more time on their hands give him several games per eek. I'm sure that Dr. John would like to be playing face to face again - and I find it amusing that he is now playing 4 times as much as he used to play with the migration to online bridge.
I sure hope I shall get the chance to play with him face to face sometime in 2021!

Note - Peg again here. I'm not too swift on what can be done playing online with different friends, but I do believe that some areas area able to "cross over" and play with others from different clubs, cities and states.
Rich, if Dr. John is willing to play with some "foreigners" (ha ha ha), check around and see if some of our people are available!
It's one week later and we just scored a 66.81%. Another 2nd overall (out of 164 pairs) for the doctor, another 3 masterpoints...
The opponents were fairly friendly and we were error free. As someone once advised me, "keep the zeros off the card"
