Personal Charm

During the Vanderbilt basketball season, I wore a hat to every game except three in the regular season. We lost those three games. Also, during the same period of time I constantly wore the hat when playing bridge and won two duplicate tournaments and consistently won at contract because I got cards more than I should have. Then just before the mideast regional I washed the hat and we did poorly in the tournament and I haven't gotten cards since then, duplicate hasn't changed however.
