The hero of today’s deal is Zia Mahmood, one of the world’s all-time great players. Aside from his many successes, the charismatic Pakistani is noted for his daring and imagination at the table, and his wit and charm away from it. Today’s deal is vintage Zia. After West’s offbeat three-spade pre-empt and North’s double, Zia, South, took a stab at three notrump. West led a diamond, and Zia inserted the nine! This brought immediate results when the nine forced East’s king, but the contract was still a long way from home. East shifted to the spade queen, taken by the ace, ...
HINTS FROM HELOISE: How to handle expiring dates on packaging
DEAR HELOISE: Renee recently commented about trying to read impossibly small print against similar colored backgrounds. This has been a thorn in my side for years! Additionally, the location, color and font size of a product’s expiration date is a problem.

Two things can be true at the same time
There’s something I keep coming back to lately. It’s not new, not groundbreaking, not something you haven’t heard before. But it’s landing differently now. Heavier and more real. Two things can be true at the same time. We say it casually, almost like a throwaway line. Of course they can. We live it every day in the simplest ways. You can want the steak and the pasta. You can love staying in and still crave a night out. You can be structured and creative, responsible and spontaneous. None of that feels complicated. But emotions? That’s where it gets messy. Because ...
