They
both took an upswing between Thanksgiving and New Year’s – Wall Street and my
fortunes at the bridge table.
The
trend was the friend for the Dow and the NASDAQ. For me, though, the trend was bouncing along a bottom. This upward
reversal was quite unexpected.
It
began with the annual Unit 116 meeting and game back at the beginning of
December, when Flo Boyd and I turned in a 60.64% game amid some of the toughest
players in town and won 1.97 points for our efforts.
That
came a day after a red-letter day in St.
Catharines
Then
it was STaC Week, the Sectional Tournament at the Clubs. The hoped-for big game
never materialized, but the rewards were slow and steady. I ended the week with
8.98 points. Big improvement over last December, when I won only 2.52 points in
the Winter STaC.
Add
to that a couple stellar Mondays at the Airport Bridge Club – first overall with
Judie Bailey on Dec. 16 with 57.09% to collect 3.19 points and then, on Dec. 23, first in our direction
in a last-minute pairing with a truly good player – Barbara Libby.
That 61.58% earned us 3 points even.
A
20-point month, at least. Maybe 25. A great way to send out the year and the decade …
