Backgammon

My wife and I try to pick up a new hobby or two every year. Last year was swimming and we now swim 2-3x a week for an hour in the mornings. [my times have improved since that post!]

This year so far it’s Backgammon. It was surprisingly easy to pick up. We’ve played a few games together at home, I had a 5-0 lead in the beginning, she turned it around and it’s 5-5 now I think. Haven’t beaten her in a while. Need to find a way!

We went to our first social backgammon gathering in NYC last week organized by the NYC Backgammon Club. More than 50+ people turned up. Was pretty fun! A good mix of folks with varying skill levels. May even think of organizing a gathering at home.
