Involuntarily retired journalist and graphic artist. I used to play at regular tournaments organized by the old Milwaukee Backgammon Club (led by the late, great Bob Holyon) until its demise sometime in the 1980s.

I hope to revive the club through Meetup.com. We meet monthly at 7 p.m. the last Tuesday of every month at McGinn's restaurant-tavern, 5901 W Bluemound Road (a block west of Hawley Road). If enough players start showing up regularly, I hope to start tournament play as well. McGinn's serves from a full menu (their Tuesday night dinner special is fried chicken), plus drinks and snack food.

I also host a Backgammon Option at the Cream City Cribbagers Meetup at 7 p.m. the first Thursday of every month at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall, 1920 S 37th St (a couple doors south of Burnham Ave). Kochanski's doesn't serve food, but several cribbagers, including the Meetup host, usually bring good snack and dessert food.
