 "Splish-Splash I Was Takin' a Bath" by Marti Ronemus

This news from "The Journal of Temperature": A one-hour bath in 104 degree water burns the same number of calories, lowers blood sugar and has the same anti-inflammatory effect as a one-half hour fast walk! The evidence comes from Loughborough University in England. True, the study was done on only 14 people, but that's good enough for me!!

So take off those sneakers (and everything else), grab your reading device and hop in that tub. Let's get to work while we use up those calories.

 Your choice:
A: 1 No-trump: What could be better? No reason to bid the Clubs, and you certainly don't want to rebid that pathetic Heart suit. According to Eddie Kantar, to rebid a five-card suit, you need three of the top four honors or four of the top five. Believe me, you don't want that five-carder hanging on the line for everyone to see.

 Your choice:
A: 2: Better than rebidding your Hearts, and better than 1 No-trump given your worthless doubleton in the unbid suit. Pass isn't really an option since opener might have a very nice hand. The worst that can happen is you're in a nice seven-card fit.

 Your choice:
A: 2 No-trump: Better than rebidding Diamonds since we've got the Clubs stopped, showing 10-12 pts. Perfect.

 Your choice:
A: 3: Rebids of old suits at the three-level are invitational. We've limited our hand, so placing the final contract is up to Pard. Nice.

And now, let's use up some more calories bathing while we play a hand.
