As Walt Olszewski
observes at the start of Wednesday’s game at the Airport Bridge Club, since I
have 2,499.9 points, any scratch will get me to that magic milestone of 2,500.
But as partial results
are posted, partner Gay Simpson and I are not among the leaders. In fact, we’re
mired in the middle of the pack, below 50%.
So I brace myself for
disappointment as Paula Kotowski, who’s directing, announces the names of the pairs
who won points.
But, despite our mediocre
49.40% effort, we finally come up at the end of the B strat, in a tie for third
place. Our reward – 0.78 of a point. A pittance, but it’s enough. Thank you, bridge gods! Gold! Life!
Master!
