We finished second overall in the GNT Flight A yesterday. We started off with a very unlucky set in the first quarter, and found ourselves trailing 28 IMPs. And unfortunately we just never really recovered.
What a wild ride. For those of you who are not bridge players, it is hard to explain my fascination with this game and what draws me to it. But this week was one of the most fun and simultaneously most focused in my bridge career. It will always be one of the high points.
We have two more days here. We may play a session or two of bridge, but i think we are planning to take it easy and probably go to the zoo and the insectarium tomorrow. Then Wednesday we have an early flight back to Raleigh.
It will be nice to be home. We had another false fire alarm last night around 2 am. We were still up partying with our teammates in our room, however, so at least this time we weren’t startled from slumber. So i’d like to get back home where we aren’t sent into the streets at all hours. And, this city smells rather bad. I have fallen in love with other cities we’ve visited for bridge tournaments (San Diego, San Francisco). This one is not on my list of Places I Wouldn’t Mind Living In.
So, life returns to normal in a few days. And that will be a good thing.
