DEAR ANNIE: I always pictured summer as the one time of year when our family could finally slow down. During the school year, we are all racing from homework to practices to carpools to late dinners. I thought summer would bring beach days, lazy mornings, cookouts and maybe one real vacation where we could reconnect without everyone checking a team schedule. Instead, our summers have become just as busy as the school year, maybe busier. My 13-year-old son plays on a travel baseball team, and my 15-year-old daughter plays competitive soccer. Between practices, tournaments, showcases and ...

Assume you’re in six clubs and West leads a heart. If you were a relative beginner, you might estimate your chances of making the slam at 50%. You would reason that there was a 50-50 chance that West was dealt the king of diamonds, in which case finessing dummy’s queen would land the slam half the time. But if you were a more experienced player, you would view your chances much more optimistically; in fact, you might even raise them to about 90%. You’d be aware of other possibilities beyond relying solely on finding West with the king of diamonds. You’d win the heart lead ...
DEAR DR ROACH: I’m an 80-year-old female who sustained a right femur fracture in February. I had surgery within 24 hours of the incident. Surgery went well, and I was discharged two days later. Recovery at home has also gone well. I’m using a walker and a cane for mobility assistance. The hospital referred a home-based physical and occupational therapy company that set up a twice-a-week program at my home. So far, I’m doing well at 14 weeks, just not quite back to my usual activities. When I try walking around my house without the walker or cane, I have a very distinct limp, and ...
