The less
said about Saturday, the better.
I could
shrug off our 42.46% morning performance in the B/C/D pairs. As we play, it
feels like we're doing better, but us B/C/D folks are thrown together with
the experts from the A/X game. So we’re 13th out of 17 pairs. We do fractionally
better than Shakeel Ahmad and Manju Ceylony, who are far better than me and
Denise Slattery.
But experience
does not make us better against the same players in the afternoon. 37.58% would
be last overall, except for a pair that's even more unfortunate than
we are. As for Shakeel and Manju, they rally to 52.39% in the p.m. and collect half a red point.
Best
part is lunch. We go back to The Diner House 29. (See Blog 1044)
Note on
a pre-game mishap: In the lobby of the Scotiabank branch attached to the
hotel/conference center, I pause to count the $500 I get from the ATM machine
because the wad of bills seems too thin. I also leave my M&T Bank debit
card in the card slot while I do that. Bad move. The machine eats it. The branch
is otherwise closed on Saturday. M&T says my new card should show up in the
mail by the end of the week.
