“Your honor,” the District Attorney stated, “we will prove that South committed a felony. He lost a cold game.”“Proceed,” the judge instructed, and the court kibitzed the evidence.“South played at 3NT,” the DA began, “after opening 1NT on a semibalanced hand. North transferred to spades and offered a choice of games. West led a low heart. South put up dummy’s king, but next he led a spade. When West took the ace, the defense cashed four hearts.”TOO MUCH“You ask too much of my client,” South’s counsel roared. “He guessed right at Trick One but still had only eight tricks.

West can let go a spade and a diamond but is stuck on the fifth club. He must pitch a heart, letting South force out the ace of spades safely, or unguard his queen of diamonds. ...

Ask Amy: They’re not shallow people but their wedding plan seems shifty

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:43:02 GMT

Dear Amy: One of our sons and his fiancée are going to get married in a civil ceremony nine months before they have a formal wedding.For the second event, they’re planning the whole enchilada: showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner, 100-plus guests, formal wedding attire, father walking bride down the aisle, officiant-led vows, 12 attendants, father-daughter dance, speeches and toasts, etc.The private civil ceremony is being done so they can save money on health insurance (they both are employed in full-time, well-paying jobs with benefits, so they acknowledge it’s not a necessity).We are struggling to positively reframe and get excited about this big wedding after they will have called each other husband and wife for almost a year.Is it disingenuous to have a big wedding (the vast majority of guests will not know they married the prior year), implying it’s the start of their married life when it isn’t even close?If they were saying “come help...
