Cool

IMHO If Syd is playing bridge, then he is not as mentally unstable as the media makes him out to be. I know he suffered a nervous breakdown and schizophrenia, but, in time, those things get better with medication. Think Syd had a 'time out' for a while, but has improved thru the years and just wants to be an ordinary person. They say it hurts him to talk about his days with Floyd, so to me, he is more together than what they say, and playing bridge, he must be thinking pretty straight there.

Hilarious!

Yeah, I don't think he's crazy anymore either. At least not anymore than you or me. It'd be nice if he said hello to the fans that have been paying his bills all these years. But I guess his elusive mystery is part of package.

I wonder if he's an internet junkie. Who knows, he may be reading this very website and having a good laugh.
