It looked like a great weekend at the Niagara Winter
Sectional Tournament in St. Catharines, Ont. But, uh-oh, have to skip the
Friday evening session. It's opening night for the new play at the Irish
Classical Theatre Company and we've got tickets.
No big loss, really. There's still the afternoon pairs
game with Rod Sumner. Plus two pairs games on Saturday with frequent partner
Selina Volpatti and the Swiss team matches with Selina on Sunday.
Then along comes a text from a long-lost friend. She's
coming to town Friday night, leaving Sunday noon. Can we get together? Sure,
Saturday night for dinner. Bye-bye, Saturday afternoon game. It wouldn’t end
till 6. Can we just play the morning game Saturday, I ask Selina. Let's just do
Sunday, she says.
Well, there's still Friday afternoon, too. See you at
the tournament, I say to Rod at the BCON game on Wednesday. Oh no, he says, I
forgot. He can't play. Funny how these big weekends just melt away.
