Happy Canada Day, eh!
Here is a feel good story.
The other day between rounds, I went to buy a cup of latte at caffe Vergnano, gave them 100 Zloty, got my latte and rushed back to play. It was not till dinner that I realized I had left the change behind!
The next morning I went to see Michal-the casher, he had no problem giving me change back.
Pawel, Michal and Krzysiek at caffe Vergnano 1882.
- Best latte in Poznan

My hand was not that great but as the auction developed, I was sure Pony did not have more then one club. So I bid one more for the road. After the smoke cleared, Pony made 11 tricks for +690 and 98.58%.
I sympathized with the unlucky East, “Been there, done that, eh!”
