Lauren Lippiatt, owner of Dragonfly Playhouse, was having a simple conversation with Kate Hall, an employee of The First Born Program in Los Alamos, Read More

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Feb. 11, 2026
BRIDGE News:
Alan Wadlinger and Randy Baker were Monday winners in both flights A and B. Jerry Fleming and Cliff Rudy were high in Flight A on Wednesday, while Neill Goltz and Bev Cooper won Flight B.
The following hand illustrates the power of a preemptive bid by opponents who have no chance to win the contract.
Look at the potential difference without the preempt! Challenge!
Board 1 from the February 11 game: North is the dealer and neither side is vulnerable.
North has an opening bid of 1♦. If East passes, which most will probably do, N/S should have no problem getting to 4♠ or perhaps even a space Read More
Home Country: Golf Tournament
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
It was Doc’s idea, of course. That’s what made it sing. That’s why it took off in gales of laughter and fun.
He knew we needed the money for the children in our area who might be without warm clothes this winter, so he brainstormed among himself and came up with the golf tournament.
He went to Delbert McLain, who is our local chamber of commerce. Delbert’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, but then suddenly clouded over with doubt.

The Santa Fe New Mexican
The great Damon Runyon said he preferred writing about losers because they were more entertaining than winners.
His premise doesn’t hold up in modern-day New Mexico.
Two big losers from the state’s 30-day legislative session are Democratic Sens. Peter Wirth of Santa Fe and Joe Cervantes of Las Cruces. They are lawyers who represent plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases.
Both senators should have excused themselves from every debate and all votes on a bill to cap punitive damages that juries can award in malpractice cases.
Cervantes introduced a Read More
Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Feb. 4, 2026
BRIDGE News:
The Feb. 4 team game was a great success. There were 7 teams in play, including two teams from Santa Fe. Local players Sig Lodwig, Jerry Morzinski, Jerry Fleming and Cliff Rudy were the overall winners.
The two games on February 9 and 11 are Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC) games. Martin Cooper and Jerry Fleming were overall winners on February 2. Bob and Laurie Walker were high in flight B.
Here’s another competitive hand. Both sides should get into the auction. When the high cards are reasonably evenly divided between the two pairs, it makes for in interesting challenge!

There was very limited stocking activity in Northern New Mexico this past week. This week’s fishing report will be short.
Small streams at higher elevations are starting to ice up. The Rio Pueblo, Santa Read More
