Bridge: July 5, 2023 Cy the Cynic still struggles with his weight.“My doctor said to avoid those intimate dinners for three,” Cy told me, “unless two other people were with me, so I asked Unlucky Louie and Wendy to go last night. I thought the talk would help me eat in moderation, but I hardly got in a word.”Cy displayed today’s deal.“I was at six diamonds,” the Cynic said. “I drew trumps, led a spade to the ace and let the queen of clubs ride. West won and led the king of spades. I ruffed and took the A-J of clubs. When West discarded, I ruffed my fourth club in dummy but had a heart to lose.”BAD LUCK“Wendy wouldn’t stop insisting that my play was hopeless. Meanwhile, Louie was complaining about his luck. I wound up eating my food and some of theirs.”Cy took the wrong club finesse. After he draws trumps, his best play is to lead a club toward dummy’s queen. West must win, and Cy later discards two hearts from dummy on the clu...

Ask Amy: Our real estate agent has become a scary stalker Dear Amy: A real estate agent helped us through numerous deals within a short 18 months — expertly, deftly and patiently.In the end she closed a total of five sales, all through us. Because of this, she won an award from her prestigious agency and became their No. 1 regional agent.She still texts/calls/emails often, wanting to get together for lunch, coffee, dinner, etc.While working together, we took her out several times to thank her for her efforts, but it has been a year since we closed everything. We are maxed-out, both emotionally and financially.After declining her invitations many times, I am at a loss. I avoid her calls. This leads to her texting, which I also now ignore. When all else fails, she shows up at our house and rings the doorbell, knowing that because my elderly father-in-law lives with us, there will be at least one adult at home at all times.Last time she showed up with candy, which my father-in-law ate. I asked her not to bring any more sweets because they end...
