Having warmed up from my layoff at the Third Thursday
game, I was ready, ready, ready to reunite on Friday with my Canadian partner,
Selina Volpatti, at the ACBL-sanctioned game in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. But
surprise! When I walked in, Selina, who was directing, announced that I would
be playing with her son-in-law, John Beck, who unexpectedly found himself with
the day off from his thriving construction business.
John is a bit of a novice, having followed his wife Laura into the game, but no problem. Selina not only transferred her love of bridge to John and Laura, but she also taught them to play. Essentially, it was like playing with Selina. Plus, not only did John cover my entry fee, he also has an easy sense of humor and an upbeat attitude. I'd be happy to hang with him even if we didn't have cards in our hands. Turns out we're OK with cards, too. Second North-South with 59.58%.
