Totally Unauthorized

Yesterday made me miss Norma Agar, who always wore her orange dress on St. Patrick’s day.  The world needs more contrarians.  The field was a sea of mis-matched greens, trinkety green necklaces, “Kiss me I’m Irish” buttons (okay, I had one of those, but it didn’t work) silly green hats and dumb t-shirts. Today we go back to the usual bridge playing melangé of bad taste and already-worn clothes that typifies the late days of an NABC.

At least we have some winners to celebrate:

Grant and Terry, 4th place, Strat B of the daylight pairs.

Mike Rippey 2nd in the 100/200/300 pairs, with a pick up partner.  Bruce Johnsonbaugh and Ally Whiteneck 6th in the same event.

Nancy Blaustein in the ovealls of the open pairs.  Lynn Humphrey and Trisha Oconnor 5/3/2 in A/B/C in a side game.

EVENT WINNERS:  Randy Corr and Hedy Wee, with Charles and Ann Conrad were 1st in C in the BCD Swiss

Jack and Lisa, 4th in the compact KO, bracket 5

EVENT WINNER: Ching Chao won bracket 6 of the compact.

Fred and Jeanne Cochran, Luise and Rudy Gebert won a KO consolsation

Sam Atabaki was 2nd in the compact KO, bracket 8

Plenty of locals still in KO events.  More pairs today.  Maybe the 4th street Bistro for dinner.  I blew a couple of bucks on an Irish themed slot last night, or I had a couple of very overpriced free drinks, spin it the way you like it.

More tomorrow.
