Ever since I attained Gold
Life Master status on Jan. 9, I’ve been turning gold into lead. As my partners
and opponents alternately congratulate me and declare their intentions of
cutting me down, I’ve made scant progress toward the next step on the ladder –
Emerald Life Master at 3,500 points. It’s a sorry tale:
Thursday, Jan. 10. 45.83%
with Florence Boyd, subbing for Marietta Kalman.
Friday, Jan. 11. 53.64%,
fifth North-South at Bridge Centre of Niagara in St. Catharines, Ont., with
Selina Volpatti. 0.26 of a point.
Saturday, Jan. 12. 44.78%
with Denise Slattery.
Monday, Jan. 14. 42.92%
with Judie Bailey on what would have been her last Monday game at the Airport Bridge Club
before snowbirding off to Florida, except her flight Jan. 20 gets canceled by the
big storm.
Tuesday, Jan. 15. 40.72%
with Denise Slattery.
Wednesday, Jan. 16.
46.53% with Pawan Matta, filling in for the ailing June Feuerstein.
Thursday, Jan. 17. A breakthrough
52.71% with Marietta Kalman. Fourth in the A strat, second in B. 1.10 point.
Friday, Jan. 18. Back to
the doldrums. 46.96% with Selina Volpatti in St. Catharines.
Saturday, Jan. 19. Deeper
doldrums. 42.71% with Denise Slattery.
