Excerpt from a longer email.

Part of a longer email is copied below:

During my visit, Cyndee and Harold toured me around the Villages.  What an awesome place, where golf cart trails

allow access to the FIFTY plus golf courses, and the many Village restaurants and grocery stores. Live music
EVERY night at the Plazas and THOUSANDS of activities. Fun to learn about the 3 types of Village residents.
 The snowbirds, the snowflakes, and the frogs.   The snowbirds stay during the winter, the snowflakes come-and-go,
(may return home for the holidays or to enjoy the snow, coming and going as they please,) and the frogs are there
 until they CROAK !  Love the humor.

Tom, it is a testament to Wizard and to the hard work of The Villages Wizard Tournament Committee Members,
 that with over 3100 activities competing for Village resident time, you all have made The Villages Wizard
get-togethers an ongoing success.

I love the social aspect of Wizard.  It is a great way to connect, and we all need more face-to-face time.

Now that our minds can't help but focus on "what is latest coronavirus update?," saga,  please consider spreading
 the word about playing wizard online to Village residents as an addition and/or as an alternative to face-to-face
 Wizard Cards fun.

The inventor of Wizard, Ken Fisher, has released a 2020 online web-based wizard game.  One can play wizard
on an iPad, a Mac, a Chromebook, or any Windows based PC.  Once one registers, you can find yourself
playing with anyone from anywhere in the world.  Fun having a Canadian, Greek or New Zealander,
or especially, the INVENTOR of Wizard Cards, player name WIZARD, on your table!  Anyone can host a game.

Tom, I would be delighted to help walk you through the online Wizard Cards site.  It is free to register and free to play.
 I live in Austin, TX and have family that lives in New York, Ohio, and Dallas, TX.  Frequently, we connect playing
Wizard online.  Yes, grandparents playing with their children and grandchildren across the nation.  Fun !!
