Are the bridge gods punishing me for that minus 1,100 scoring error two weeks ago at Niagara-on-the-Lake? I'm starting to have my suspicions. Not only did the mistake take me and Selina down from 52% to 48% in that game, but we've been descending deep into misery ever since.
Our sojourn at the Niagara Winter Sectional in St. Catharines, Ont., last weekend began with another minus 1,100 and it didn't get any better. We played only the afternoon session on Friday and our 40.02% barely kept us from settling in dead last.
Morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday gave us two chances to escape, but our 45.67% in the morning didn't even come close. Third from last north-south in our section. Then again, we needed 60% to scratch. Tough crowd.
Us? Not even tough enough to muster even 50% against Selina's delightful daughter, Maria Cerenzia, who has only five master points, and she was at the bottom east-west.
In the afternoon, we were the ones who sank to the bottom. Actually, a three-way tie for the last place in our section at 40.74%. Well, if we're going to be that miserable, it's good to know we have company.
