A funny thing happened at the St Louis Regional.  No, not a bridge hand…it’s the case of the runaway convention card!  A group of us went out to dinner in the middle of a seriously strong rain storm.  Our driver dropped us at the front door of the restaurant and I scurried inside to minimize the wetness.  Once out of the rain, I turned around and noticed no one was behind me.  I made the executive decision to stay put and stay dry!  

Literally three to five minutes later, my fellow bridge player came inside the restaurant completely soaked!  I inquired about her mysterious delay in the rain and she described the following….Visualize it with me!

When I stepped out of the car, my convention card fell to the ground.  A strong water current grabbed my convention card and pulled it down the hill.  I chased it for two blocks until it finally disappeared into a drain.  I gave up and returned to the restaurant.

The General Manager noticed my very wet friend and offered his dinner jacket to warm her up!  Despite the rain, we had a great meal with friends.  As we drove away from the restaurant there was still some hope that we might see that runaway convention card…alas, it wasn’t meant to be.  I tell you this story because bridge players are the only people that would understand getting completely wet to try to save a runaway convention card!
