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.
fluffy
The air in our neighbourhood has been full of falling white puffiness
all day. It has sucked the colour out of the background and my
enthusiasm for shoveling. I know that the frozen tire ruts and ice
chunks still lie under all that smooth, leprous Wonderland, and I
know I will not enjoy the shocks my shovel will deliver to my wrists,
shoulders and spine when it runs into all those little surprises lurking.
I know, I know: it’s a winter Wonderland and all that crap, White Christmas
jingle bells and so on; but it just makes me want to wrap up in a shawl
and play old guy for a while. And please don’t try to cheer me up
by singing Christmas Carols, they make me want to be jolly, and I don’t.
I really sympathize with Scrooge: while his position derived from
mean-spiritedness, there is a lot of forced levity that seems to require
copious amounts of booze to happen at all. Christmas is a favorite season
for checking out; we seem to have set it up so that if you don’t have
the requisite fluffy/sparkly/aromatic/cozy family love in, you can get pretty
depressed. The predominance of darkness really doesn’t help that either.
So here I am, at the bottom of the space, having been pretty depressing,
and I’m looking for a way out into the sparkly sunshine that is bound to
follow; it always does. And of course that is because fluffy snow is
a very reflective substance. And I guess that’s what it has going for it.
Fluff can be substantial, even if it is full of air, as is your humble, etc.
