That’s what the late Bill Rieker, who ran the B&P
Duplicate Bridge Club in the Zion Church in the Town of Tonawanda, would
declare somewhere toward the end a session when play was starting to run late. Why
do you call it the mustard round, I asked him once. That’s when we all ketchup,
he explained.
With
August leaving me well shy of my goal of 15, it’s time for a whole mustard
month. Otherwise, goodbye to those hopes of reaching Gold Life Master by the
end of the year. Which means that September had better not start the way August
did, with a week of bad luck and no points at all.
Well, so far, so good.
With Denise Slattery on
Saturday, there’s an even 50% game, which rewards us with 0.98 of a point for
being third in the B strat.
On Labor
Day, there’s two sessions at the Airport Bridge Club, but as a Labor Day night
shift laborer, I only get to play the morning half with Eva Schmidt.
When Eva is sharp, she’s
very, very sharp and this is one of those days. 64.58%. First North-South. One
of my best games all year. 1.97 points. More mustard, please.
