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.
