Leisure Arts Duplicate Bridge Results
Leisure Arts Duplicate Bridge — it has a ring to it. It is here because I post the scores for our bridge club, taught and directed by Joddy Campbell.
We meet every Tuesday at The Benson Centre, 1 pm to 4 pm. The scores are dropped off for me Wednesday afternoon, and I post them here, in Google Spreadsheets. I post the top five scores for each of two or three sections of six to eight tables each.

Printing a Post
Direct method:
1. select the post by dragging your cursor over the poem from bottom to top.
2. Click
(in Windows), then click "Selection" so that it does not print the while page, then click "Print". The disadvantage of using this technique on my printer is that the font prints small.
Formal method (easier):
1. Click on the title of the entry.
2. On the resulting screen, click on "Print the entry below".
3. On the resulting screen, click on "Print" in the lower right corner to print all, or
4. Select what you want to print as in the "Direct Method" above. The type will be regular size.
Thanks to Lester Chan for his excellent wp-print plugin.

Fifty years paints that football field in golden sunlight;
the gray stone arches of Hart House echoed grunts
impact and college cheers. Born too late to go to war,
we knew some proof of manhood could be found there;
so we drove ourselves through repeated twilight drills
in pain and exhaustion and exhilaration in honour of some
unspoken code in autumn deference to real causes.
I was big, and the summer’s work in the bush had
left me strong enough to defensive play man over
centre and offensive tackle— I’d never touched the ball,
nor the bench; but there was lots of hitting and
lots of pain exhaustion and exhilaration—in honour
of some unspoken code in autumn deference to
reality as viewed from our little ivoried Hart House.
On the particular day that I remember, I had run over centre
with the ease, several times causing him to fumble the ball.
I was enjoying this mayhem, and getting cocky enough
to start taunting him as we lined up face-to-face.
I should have known our opponents would not allow
me to continue destroying their plays. “This centre
is a cream p—
—oof!”
The clouds are edged in gold on this autumn day
as I think back and realize that the real gold is
in the smile that frames my face as I think back.
