Recently, he’s had a medical problem with a few ulcerated sores. This sometimes happens to paraplegics. Unfortunately, his doctor has said he needed
Bridge
H.L. Mencken said, “An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.”
At the bridge table, if it smells like a game contract, bid that game. Even if it should be defeated, the opponents might not find the killing defense. Plus, you keep them under pressure. They are aware that one slip, and you have raked in a game bonus.
In today’s deal, North was aggressive in driving to game, but he had two aces and a side-suit singleton.
