“Minnie isn’t playing in the evening duplicate,” Cy the

Cynic told me smugly. “That means I have a chance at the

first-place jackpot.”

“Where is she?”

“At the senior citizens center, playing bingo. I drove her

there and staked her.”

“It sounds as if you’re getting desperate,” I said.

Minnie Bottoms wears old bifocals that make her mix

up kings and jacks, often to her opponents’ dismay. Cy has

been Minnie’s chief victim.

“Look what she did to me yesterday,” Cy said, showing

today’s deal. “I was South at 3NT and played low from

dummy on the first club. Minnie took the ace (!) and

returned the jack. West overtook to set up his suit and got

in with the ace of spades to beat me.”

“Nicedefense,”Isaid.“Youmake3NTifsheplaysthe

jack on the first club.”

“Nice defense by her glasses,” Cy growled. “Minnie said

she knew enough to play the ace first and then the king

from A-K doubleton. At least she didn’t yell ‘Bingo’ when

West took the setting trick.”

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold:♠A4♥♥ 732 ♦♦ 942 ♣Q10

8 6 3. Your partner opens one club, you raise to two clubs

and he next tries two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER:You have a minimum single raise, and to offer no

encouragement and sign off at three clubs would appeal to

many good players. Since you have an ace and a fifth club,

to preserve your chances for 3NT would also be reasonable.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Friday,
Aug. 30, 2019:
This year, you move to create a
greatersenseofconnectionbe-
tween yourself and others. You en-
courage a new beginning. Helping
others to act in harmony might
seem impossible to many people,
but you see it as a potential out-
come. If single, you might mix
dating with getting to know a
friend. As a result, people might
be confused as to your intent. Be
as clear as possible. If attached,
your significant other finds you
unusually attractive and pulls in
closer. Your relationship bonds on
an even deeper level. A fellow
VIRGO echoes your thoughts.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
If you are not the source of unusu-
al excitement in this present cycle,
others are. In your daily life, you
note an element of unpredictabili-
ty in others that could force you to
adjust your schedule. Tonight:
Share a vision with a loved one.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
You can be an incredible source of
ideas and creativity. You might opt
to push a heartfelt project or idea
to your highest priority. Be willing
to brainstorm about this topic and
get feedback. Tonight: A friend
could prove to be flaky.
GEMINI(May 21-June 20)
Your personal and domestic life
absorbs your attention. You have
an opportunity for a new begin-
ning in that area. For some of you,
this new beginning could be emo-
tional, whereas others might be
eyeing a change in their homes.
Tonight: Express your desires.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
You might opt to no longer put up
with a car that barely moves, an
old computer and/or a cellphone
that needs updating. You want to
renovate your communications
and the method in which you de-
liver them. Tonight: Off to the
gym. Work off any volatile energy.
LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)
You could be at your wits' end, try-
ing to stabilize a situation that im-
pacts you. Decide who can help
you create what you want. Your
creativity surges forward. Test out
your idea on a partner or friend
who has experience with your
type of issue. Tonight: Splurge,
party the night away!
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You are in the limelight right now.
Others look to you for answers.
Many of you are role models of
some kind. Your serious yet dili-
gent approach to problems works
well. Tonight: A partner lets you
know how much they appreciate
what you do.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Avoid a commitment right now, if
possible, unless it is to yourself,
for yourself. You might need more
personal time to think through an
issue that impacts your domestic
life and interactions. You want to
view this issue from several differ-
ent moods and perspectives. To-
night: Happily head home.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your professional and personal at-
tention helps others flourish. Of-
ten, others seek you out for your
perspective. If someone is unusu-
ally soft and caring, you might not
be comfortable with them. Do not
distance yourself for the moment.
Tonight: Going for what you want.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A new beginning becomes possi-
ble in your public or professional
life. Understand what is happen-
ing with a boss or authority figure.
Your attention pleases them to no
end. Tonight: Celebrating the
weekend.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Reach out for others. Do not stand
on ceremony at present. You do
not know what is going on within
someone else. You can only guess.
Try to understand what is happen-
ing with someone at a distance.
Tonight: Listening to great music.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
One-on-one relating draws others
toward you. You have much more
to share than you realize or anoth-
er person thinks. Once the conver-
sation is on an open level, you will
see you have a strong connection.
Tonight: Be a duo.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
You feel unusually inspired and
creative, as do those around you.
Be smart; let others come toward
you for a discussion and brain-
storm session. At the same time,
let others take the credit for now.
Tonight: So many choices.
