At last something to feel good about. This evening we beat the mighty USA 2 team 44-21. And, as it happens, a life lesson learned as well. Declaring 4 spades in the end position I held K10x of diamonds opposite 982 and must score 1 trick holding my losers to 2. After a great deal of thought I led low, went up King, and when this held claimed making 4. My right hand opponent now informed the table this was the most boring hand of the day. I replied that it was not boring for me and she confirmed that I had no choice in the play of the hand. Later, comparing with teammates, we scored plus 10 on this hand. Apparently, my opponent at the other table led twice from dummy, losing to the Jack and Queen on her left in Karen's hand, and finally to the Ace which Pamela had smoothly ducked twice. Some things are probably better left unsaid or they might come back to haunt you!
Tough matches tomorrow: Australia, USA1 and China.
Thanks for all your good wishes, it really does lift our spirits...Susan
