Anyone who knows me well, knows how I love bridge. During the pandemic, all games have been on line. I play every other Wednesday at 12:50 on line with Jill, one of my favorite partners. I really look forward to it, so when my internet went down on a Wednesday a few weeks ago, I didn't know what to do.
First, I called Jill to tell her I probably wouldn't be able to play. No internet. We had been having cable and internet problems for 2 days. The Cox trucks were everywhere, but didn't seem to be making progress. I noticed they were working on the street close to my house, so I went over to talk to them. They didn't think things would be fixed until the evening. I was so upset, but always the problem solver, I came up with a solution.
I made a nice salad that I packed up and took in the car with me as I drove to the local McDonald's, about 1/2 mile away. I took my ipad with me, hoping I could use their wi fi, while sitting in the car. It worked. For the next 2 1/2 hours I sat in my car and played bridge with Jill. I ended up playing on my phone. For some reason unbeknownst to me I was unable to connect using the ipad. In any event, I ate my lunch and played, and watched the world go by. It wasn't our best bridge game, but it sure was fun.
I keep repeating the old saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way." I had the will, and I found a way.
