Ask Amy: Vacation times are affected by interlopers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:26:38 GMT

Dear Amy: Like a lot of people these days, my adult children and many of my friends are spread out all over the country. I try to stay in touch with them by making short trips to visit them.These trips are usually four or five days (two days of which are travel days) and include the expenses of airfare, accommodations, entertainment, pet sitting, etc.I have a close friend I have met in various locations for vacations, and the last three times, she has brought a friend or family member along (at her expense) without telling me in advance.Her one friend was a very high-maintenance stranger (to me) who now shows up on all of my photos from our vacation to Yosemite. Her presence totally affected the dynamic.Another time, she invited her adult son along, again without telling me.My kids also do this, inviting other family members or friends over during my visits.I appreciate the desire to be one big happy group, but I would like to just have some alone time with them. It would be great i...

Bridge: May 6, 2023

“Simple Saturday” columns focus on basic technique and logical thinking.Effective defense is impossible without counting. Besides counting declarer’s distribution, high-card points and potential winners, defenders must count their own tricks.To beat a major-suit game takes four tricks. In today’s deal, West leads a spade against four hearts, and East takes the ace. Before returning partner’s lead, East should think about where the defenders’ four tricks will come from.TRUMP TRICK?West is unlikely to have a trump trick, and though he may have a diamond trick, he can’t have the A-K, not having led a diamond. So the defense will surely need one club. If South has the king of spades, they will need two.At Trick Two, East must shift to the eight of clubs. If West has the king of spades, he will probably get it no matter what. This defense is not a sure thing: If South holds QJ10,K10965,A6,AKQ, East must return a spade instead. But that is a speci...
