Here's his email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm a divorced 48 year old man. I am ready to get back out there so to speak, but I have a real question about dating these days. I've worked hard in my life and am doing fine when it comes to finances.

Is it okay for me to ask on a first date what someone's financial situation is? I wouldn't mind someone askin...

Sometimes I think an additional call should be available in the auction: When a player doubles a contract for penalty, he should be able to re-examine hand, reconsider — and undouble.In today’s deal, East raised West’s one heart to two. When South bid two spades, West jumped to four hearts, and after two passes, South tried four spades. West’s double was ill-judged.South ruffed West’s second high heart with the king of trumps. He led his five to dummy’s seven and returned the three of clubs to his jack. West took the king and led another heart. South ruffed, went to the ace of trumps and let the ten of clubs ride.REMORSEWest was starting to have doubler’s remorse, but it was too late to undouble. South next led a diamond to his king and lost only one diamond. Making four, doubled. Well played.“I don’t know why I doubled,” West said, “but he needed the seven of trumps in dummy to make it.”Actually, South can succ...
