OK, I did the math. Three days to go, 3.95
points needed to meet that goal of 15 for the month. Some major thrust was called for, a couple seriously good games.
But the propellant started leaking
in the very first round with June Feuerstein on Wednesday. We were a trick
short of what we should have made in the first four hands and things just sputtered after that. We finished with 43.33%, well out of point range.
That put a payload of even heavier
expectations on Thursday’s reunion with Denise Slattery. And those hopes
crashed in a mighty series of trick shortfalls, missed bids and brilliant
maneuvers by our opponents. Only a miracle – a top board from a 6 No Trump contract, bid and made – saved us from totally imploding and sinking below 30%. Worst
game of the year – 32.14%.
