Unlucky Louie had drivenby a churchwithone of those

changeable signsout front.

“It spoke directly to me,” Louie sighed.

“What did it say?”

“‘God always has anothercreampie up His sleeve.’”

Everythinghappensto Louie. Whenhe was declarerat

today’s 3NT, he won the first heart in dummy and led a dia-

mondto his jack.West tookthe king, ponderedand shifted

to a spade:10, jack,ace.

Louie next tookthe A-Q of diamonds.WhenEastdiscard-

ed, Louie cashedhis clubs,but at the 10th trick,he had

to lead a heart. West won and led another spade,and East

had the rest. Downone.

Louie mistimedand was hit witha creampie. He should

win the first heart in his handand lead a low diamond.If

West wins,Louie has ninetricks.If West ducks,Louie can

forceout the ace of hearts to assurehis game.And if East

had the kingof diamonds, he couldn’t lead a spadeeffec-

tively, and Louie wouldhave timeto set up ninewinners.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Monday,
Aug. 5, 2019:
This year, you flow through prob-
lemsandwarmuptonewideas.
Whencommunicating, you demon-
strate a special quality that encour-
ages responsiveness fromothers. If
single, you draw quite a few admir-
ers. Your biggest problem will be
sorting through many potential
sweeties! Don't get discouraged. If
you're attached, your significant
other appears to blossom in frontof
your eyes. Your newfound recep-
tiveness helps this person open up.
Together, you relish a new form of
closeness. LIBRA helps you see
both sides of a situation.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
Opportunities pop up from nearly
everywhere.Althoughyou might
be thrilledby what you hear, mak-
ing a choice couldbe difficult. A
power play could be more compli-
cated than you anticipate. You'll
movein a new direction. Tonight:
If you can dreamit, then it can
happen.
TAURUS(April20-May 20)
Pace yourself;you have a lot of
groundto cover. A lovedone or
partner comes throughin a big
way. A family member could be
touchy, or a matter involving
property could arise.Tonight: Get
some extra R and R.
GEMINI(May 21-June20)
Your imagination takes over and
allows unusual creativity. A part-
ner or closeassociate speakshis or
her mind. Avoid getting squeezed
into a powerplay. Express your
feelings,even if the other party
mightpersonalize the message too
much.Tonight: Kickingup your
heels.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
Your ability to create and cause
othersto step back and think
emerges. You know what's best for
you, but you'll most likely look at
what's best for the whole.The un-
expected emerges and forces an
adjustmentbut also provides op-
portunities. Tonight: Chill.
LEO(July23-Aug.22)
You mightchooseto approach a
situation quickly; what comesup
as a resultgivesyou pause to
think.You gain important infor-
mation; your imagination comes
forwardand creates unusualop-
portunities. You knowwhat you
want. Head in that direction. To-
night: Make calls quickly.
VIRGO(Aug.23-Sept.22)
You feel as thoughyou're on a roll.
A powerplay couldstop you for a
while,but you see a way around
the blockage. Don't lose your pace
for too long; you have a lot of
ground to cover. Tonight: Doteon
a loved one or child.
LIBRA(Sept.23-Oct.22)
You are personality-plus.You can
achieve a lot just by staying fo-
cused. You find an interruption
annoying but worth dealingwith.
You resentsomeone's decision to
shove his or her way into what you
deemis your choice. Tonight:
Beam in what you desire.
SCORPIO(Oct.23-Nov. 21)
You sensethat somethingmight
be going on behindthe scenes, but
you don't know what it is. If you
ask questions, someone might
pull away. Inviting a key person to
munchies after workcouldcause
that person to spill the beans. To-
night: Enjoythe moment.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Zero in on associates, long-term
desires and a key friend. You feel
differentand unlike your usual
state. Be careful not to push some-
one too far and draw a strong re-
action. Getting a glimpse of be-
havior that you find to be a turnoff
couldbe upsetting. Tonight:
Wherethe crowdsare.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Others turn to you for your leader-
ship abilities.You couldbe ques-
tioningwhat might be possible if
you relax and don't push someone
away. You mightnot feel comfort-
able with this key person. Be hon-
est with yourself. Tonight: Get the
most out of the moment.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You seem to make the best of any
situation, especially when working
with more than one person. Early
in the day, make an important
long-distance call. What you hear
might encourage you to detach and
see the big picture. Tonight: Re-
spond to a loved one’s efforts.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
You have one person with whom
you enjoy brainstorming and
sharingmore than anyone else.
Go find this person, especially to
discuss a matter that couldinflu-
ence your work.Tonight: Indulge
in a good dinnerand a chat.
