First, there's the race against the calendar. Can I
get to Gold Life Master (2,500 points) before New Year's Eve? According to
MyACBL, my career total now stands at 2,372.52, which includes points from the
Buffalo Spring Sectional. If I can do a little better than my
15-point-per-month goal, I might even get there by Thanksgiving.
The
second is a race against Allen Beroza and Mike Silverman – the two players who
are nipping at my heels in the Ace of Clubs race (club points only) among Unit 116
Ruby Life Masters. They're tied for second place. At the end of March they were
only about a third of a point behind me.
So far
this month, I'm still in the lead, at least temporarily. At the Airport Bridge Club, my point count is 8.21. Allen has 7.49, too
close for comfort. And although Mike is on vacation at the moment, his vacations
in previous years haven't kept him from becoming the local Ruby Life Master Ace
of Clubs champ.
