New Year's resolutions
don't last forever. My vow to have no game below 40% held up for just 23 days.
It fell during the ACBL-Wide Junior Fund Game on Tuesday afternoon at the Airport
Bridge Club.
Partner Dotty May and I
turned in a miserable 39.32%, particularly unfortunate in a competition where points
could be won on a district level. Doubly unfortunate, since the Airport Club
was the only club in District 5 taking part in the game. The winners got
something like 12 points.
And just when things
were going so well. I just had my second-best-ever Buffalo Sectional Tournament
and in the morning game at the Airport Bridge Club, Dotty and I had a 53.75%
game, first in the B strat, for 1.80 points.
Wednesday saw a
bounce-back with Gay Simpson, a last-minute substitute for my regular partner,
June Feuerstein, who is ailing. Gay's a much more serious player than June and
our combined focus turned out to be fortuitous – first overall with 64.58%, for
2.19 points. I'm now approaching 20 points for the month. 2018 is off to a good
start.
