Started
off nicely enough, then took a nosedive. Hope my game resurfaces for the
Buffalo Fall Sectional Tournament this weekend.
Monday: After Marilyn Sultz breaks our
date for family reasons last week, I'm pleasantly surprised to get an invitation
from Beena Deshmukh, a Lockport woman who often teams with my frequent partner
Usha Khurana with good results. Beena is more reserved than most of my playmates,
but she's solid and compatible. Our 54.17% is third in our direction and earns
1.23 points. We'll have to connect again.
Tuesday: For once my high hopes of
doing well with Dottie May are fulfilled. Not a spectacular game at 52.57% – tie
for sixth overall – but even fractional points (0.89) are always welcome.
Wednesday: Another lark with June
Feuerstein in a six-table game, but we don't fly high enough. 49.17%. To
scratch in our direction, we need some serious altitude – another 10 percentage
points.
Thursday: I desperately want to cheer
up Marietta Kalman with a good game, but this is just the opposite. Our fault
mostly, but not entirely. For instance, Myra Razik and Brian Block come along
in the second round, pick up a hand that goes all the way to slam in every suit
but Clubs, and turn out to be the only ones who bid it. 39.42%. Absolute dead
last in this six-table session. Total points for the week so far: 2.12. For the
month: 11.53.
