		<description><![CDATA[Stan and I are still playing most Wednesday mornings.  Poor Steamer has had to put up with a lot of my worst bridge &#8212; not only inexpert, but occasionally cranky and snappish.  I&#8217;ve been determined to turn it around lately, so when we sat down this week I tried extra hard to be a cheerful [...]]]></description>
