Leaving town

[jianantonic]

I continued my busy streak yesterday until I wore myself out and fell asleep, but not without squeezing in 40 boards of great bridge on BBO with [Bad username or unknown identity: jjbrr .  Playing with him is always a treat.  I'm still far from perfect, but I did feel that I played pretty well.  I made a red 6SXX and a 4-3 spade game with a bad break after a bidding misunderstanding.  We had lots of kibitzers, so I felt pressured to play well.  I always come down on myself really hard for stupid mistakes, and it's just embarrassing when other people witness them, too.  But at the same time, I usually step up my game a lot when there are onlookers.  Anyway I had fun.  Jer is always a very nice partner. My parents will be coming to get me in a few hours, then it's bye-bye to my abode for another couple of weeks, at least.  We've got a pretty solid travel schedule through mid-September, but we will be home for a few days here and there between trips.  It's mostly bridge tournaments, with the exception of Falcon Ridge, which I haven't had much time to stop and think about but wow -- it's really soon:)  I still need to pack for my flight.  I was going to try to fit everything into a carry on bag, but McKenzie wants me to bring some of his stuff, too, so I probably won't be able to fit everything.  We'll see.  I guess I should get to packing and get ready for my day. Peace.]
