runners with mullets take over mullet hall more online b id adieu to february with one of the most fun trail runs in the charleston area on saturday. organizers of the mullet haul encourage runners to don a mullet, real or fake, and haul either five miles or ten miles on trails through the beautiful woods and pastures of the mullet hall equestrian center at Johns island county park. you don’t have to wear one, though, and there’s plenty of fun to be had watching the goofballs who do. Besides awards for the fastest runners in the usual categories, the person wearing the best mullet and corresponding costume will get a special prize. The run is a rare opportunity for the 99 percent of us who don’t own horses to enjoy the equestrian center, at 2662 mullet hall road (off of river road), which is usually open for trail riding and equestrian events only. if you miss the mullet haul, though, you’ll have another chance to run at the park on oct. 12 during the inaugural lowcountry trail half-marathon.

find the fun around town this weekend i
don’t know about you, but come friday i’m looking to cut loose and have a good time. nothing crazy, but laughter is always a plus in this department. and it just so happens that there are a few events happening this weekend on the peninsula that fall under this category.
pinball tourney
The folks over at recovery room, everyone’s favorite place for pBr and tater tots, will be hosting the second annual charleston pinception pinball tourney on saturday. starting at 2 p.m., the tournament will feature four pinball machines all on free play. The event is open to all skill levels and the cost to enter is a whopping $5.
last year’s tournament featured players from all over south carolina, north carolina, virginia and florida. Those interested in watching but not playing can do so for free. The event is sponsored by charleston gamerooms and pBr. The recovery room is at 685 king st. call 727-0999 or go to www.recoveryroomtavern.com for more info.
Charleston Gamerooms
Charleston Gamerooms and PBR are sponsoring the second annual Charleston Pinception Pinball Tourney at Recover Room.
mJ tribute Being a child of the ’80s, there’s a special place in my
heart for michael Jackson. i grew up listening to him and know the lyrics to all of his songs. heck, i
know the choreographed dance moves to “Thriller” (i learned it for dance team in high school). and since i’ll never have the chance to see him live, the next best thing is catching a show of who’s Bad: The ultimate michael Jackson tribute Band at the music farm. doors open at 8 p.m. friday. tickets are $15 in advance, $17 the day of the show. as it’s a tribute, i’d bet money on some of the songs featured during the show. But no matter what they perform, if you’re a fan of mJ, you’re almost guaranteed to have a good time. The music farm is at 32 ann st. reach them at 577-6989 or go to www.musicfarm.
com.
Journey tribute
if you know me or have read this column in the past, then you’re well aware of my love for Journey. (no, i’m not ashamed.) again, i know all the lyrics to the songs. i’m the one in the bar and in my car belting out “don’t stop Believin’.” and while Journey is still touring, in my mind, they’re just not the same since steve perry left the band. i’d still see them live, don’t get me wrong, but a tribute show might just do the group justice. trial By fire: The ultimate Journey tribute will be performing saturday at the music farm. tickets are $10 and the doors open at 8 p.m. Join the revolution.

‘Jack the giant slayer’
Big-bucks beanstalk is a highlight of this somewhat violent fairy tale By roger moore MCT
movie review
ne thing this current run of blockbuster fairy tales inspired by tim Burton’s “alice in wonderland” has taught us is how very hard it is to be tim Burton. multiple versions of “snow white,” a comic splatter film “hansel & gretel” — some have attempted Burton’s visual whimsy, all have failed to find his tone. Bryan (“X-men”/“usual suspects”) singer takes his shot with “Jack the giant slayer,” a genial, watchable and somewhat violent version of “Jack and the Beanstalk” that lacks much in the way of magic, romance or wit. The best two jokes are in the opening credits, with singer’s “usual suspects”inspired production company logo rendered into a police lineup — of giants — and at the final curtain, suggesting the story’s con-

The familiar tale of the farm boy who
loses the family horse (in this case) for a bag of magic beans, the towering stalk that reaches into the heavens and a giant’s lair, the magic harp, goose that lays golden eggs, etc., has been given a video-game framework here.
The boy (nicholas hoult of “warm Bodies”) is still gullible. he still finds the beans. But there’s a spirited princess (eleanor tomlinson, who was in “alice in wonderland”) who needs rescuing, a power-mad lord
high constable (stanley tucci) to foil, a soldier (ewan mcgregor) to befriend and all those giants to slay. it’s “The princess Bride” without the laughs. a charming prologue has young Jack and young isabel

very many opportunities to play a part like this, the kind that has big classic characters where you immediately recognize who and what they are. and the script is full of wit and humor, which made it even more fun.
Q: In a sort of architectural sense, you’re both playing the same role: Nicholas Hoult (“X-Men First Class”) is Jack, Eleanor Tomlinson (“Alice in Wonderland”) is Princess Isabelle, and usually in these adventure stories there would be another principal male, usually a villain. But here are the both of you, sort of occupying the same space.
lot’s swagger by mcgregor. pity about the haircut. and that’s where Jack runs afoul of the scheming roderick, played with mildly malevolent glee by tucci. The moment he flashes that gap between his teeth, older movie fans will see who he’s going for, an old school terry Thomas-style “rotter,” somebody the giants can “deal” with. There are moments of “shrek”-like playfulness in the carnival set up at the base of the stalk as our
heroes and villains climb it. But the vast array of writers (christopher mcQuarrie among them) can’t find anything funny for mcshane to do or say. and the hilarious Bill nighy is lost inside an expensively animated twoheaded behemoth. which is the lot of the film, as well. for all singer’s expertise at making the fantastic real, all we’re left with here is an expensive-looking bauble — worth eyeing, but not really anything to treasure.
tucci: i suppose it’s structured in a strange way. in another movie, ewan would be the male lead, and i would be the bad male lead, but then you have nick, who’s really the male lead, and it’s all very confusing.
prerecord all the giants’ movements with motion capture, so we were able to see what we were doing. we could watch what we were supposed to be seeing, and we watched it before we did a take, at which time we would be looking at a tennis ball on a stick or something. and then you just use your imagination, more than anything else. But the job is the same at the end of the day. you have to create the same effects. tucci: obviously, it would be much more fun to work with another actor across from you and not a guy with a tennis ball on a stick. and it’s more exciting. and you get a lot more satisfaction as an actor from doing a movie like that. well, some of them, anyway.
Q: Is it confusing for the two of you, both very serious actors, giving a performance in a movie that’s so rich in special effects? mcgregor: The job is the thing. you have to still play a scene as if you’re in your character’s shoes, but the interplay is slightly different. or not existent — usually, you have another actor there, and you’re reacting to each other, and you create the scene together. The giants aren’t really there, of course, but they did

guadalupe grill
Family-centric south of the border fiesta for the right price
By deidre schipani Special to The Post and Courier
s
ly and the family stone’s 1971 hit “it’s a family affair” entered my head during a recent visit to mount pleasant’s newest mexican eatery, guadalupe grill, which opened in november. The whole Buehler family is in on the action and they aim to please. The grill is located in a former chinese carry-out that has been given a new lease on life in shades of mango, aquamarine, sea glass greens, melon and tropical punch red. island aphorisms punctuate the wall space and the vibe is somewhere between Bob marley and Bobby mcferrin. no aztec murals, no mariachis, no ethnic folk art. This is a “life is good at the beach” kinda place. The menu offers the typical american-mexican cannon with a nod toward the southern state of sonora and the Baja peninsula. expect to see fish tacos ($3.95) topped with the traditional cabbage, not lettuce, and blanco (white) sauce as well. The sonoran-style hot dog ($6.55) is candy-caned in bacon, griddled, placed in a bolillo-like bun and topped with onions, mustard, pinto or black beans, Jack and cheddar cheeses, pico de gallo, tangy blanco sauce and for an additional cost (65 cents), guacamole. it is a messy but tasty mouthful, reminiscent of a chicago-style hot dog with all of its neon glory. house-made white corn chips with fresh salsa are quickly dispatched to your table. The flavors are fresh, the chips are not greasy but the salsa itself is quite mild. The rich and layered nuances of jalapeno and serrano chilies are missing but the

The Guadalupe Grill in the Sea Island Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant. flavors of freshness rule and that suffices. a signature dish, the gg crisp ($5.65) is a mexican pizza: a crunchy flour tortilla is topped with cheeses and salsa and baked to an ooey-gooey finish. you can have it “your way” with beans, bacon, beef, chicken, carne asada or carnitas for $7.45. nacho lovers do not despair as nachos are offered as traditional chips ($7.15$8.20) and also as nacho fries ($7.15-$8.20) with each base (either chips or fries) being layered with queso sauce, cheeses, beans, pico de gallo, olives, jalapenos and sour cream. i really liked the addition of soups to the menu. among them are a simple tomato soup with cilantro and lime ($4.25), a more complicated tortilla soup ($5.45) made with either grilled chicken or seasoned ground beef, and a robust chicken and rojo (red) rice soup ($4.25) with roasted corn and a topping of sour crema and cheese; add avocado for (95 cents). The latter was well-seasoned and a balanced combination of
chicken, rice, tomatoes and broth. hot sauce is available to adjust the spiciness of any dish. we found most dishes quite mild. vegetarians will find a veggie burrito loaded with grilled vegetables, cilantro rice, black bean and corn salsa with chopped romaine and guacamole ($6.55), cheese or bean quesadillas ($5.60), grilled fish or shrimp tacos ($3.95) and a meatless fajita ($7.55). sides of cilantro or rojo rice ($1.50) and black or pinto beans ($1.50) keep the prices low and meals wellbalanced. The sonoran street taco with carne asada ($2.60) was fresh and juicy with just a hint of pinkness in the grilled meat. a tex-mex taco was served in a crisp white corn shell and benefited from well-timed cooking and a freshness that characterized all of the ingredients at guadalupe grill. children are not forgotten here and each “kid’s meal” comes with a small fruit freeze or a carton of milk. “mini” defines the kids’ portions of crisps ($3.25), quesadillas, ($3.25) burritos
($3.45) and fries. ($3.25) a plain hot dog ($2.95) in a traditional roll rounds out their offerings for youngsters. There are sea creatures for the kids to color and an aquarium to entertain and educate. corn chips are seasoned with cinnamon and sugar ($1.95) and super-sized cookies and brownies ($1.50) complete the dessert menu. stick with the gg freeze and finish your meal with a frosty pina colada or strawberry “slush.” This is a plastic place and that is my only objection: i think soup tastes odd in styrofoam bowls and plastic cutlery is not always up to the task. it’s personal nit picking but i am sure that has kept the start-up costs low. lunch traffic is busy at this center; dinner, not so much. hopefully, spring, summer and tourist season will bring more diners to guadalupe grill. a friendly, fresh, clean eatery that is cooking from scratch, comfortable with children and priced for the budget-cuts of 2013 deserves patronage.

“If you put everything you have into every song every time, they can tend to start sounding the same. I’ve tried to use something different, like finger-tapping or odd chordvoicing that sounds like a mandolin chord along the way.” Jake shimabukuro
ukulele from page e14
ditties, bluesy numbers, flamencostyled pieces, sophisticated ballads and explosive rockers. in 2009, the solo ukulele concept was still very new to shimabukuro. he’d always played in small combos and ensembles in hawaii and california before. since then, he’s strived to express himself in creative ways through his instrument, developing new techniques and exploring new concepts. “There are so many ways to compose music,” he said. “i want there to always be something different about each new song. if you put everything you have into every song every time, they can tend to start sounding the same. i’ve tried to use something different, like finger-tapping or odd chord-voicing that sounds like a mandolin chord along the way. “There’s one song on the new record called ‘missing Three’ where i only use three strings. technique is one thing, but you also have to think about melody.” on previous albums, shimabukuro rendered unique versions of everything from Bach to The Beatles to michael Jackson in addition to his own compositions. with nothing more than a fourstring-style ukulele in hand, he created surprisingly rich, huge sounds in the studio.
Jake Shimabukuro’s new CD “Grand ukulele.” for “grand ukulele,” shimabukuro recorded everything live in the studio with no overdubs. “it’s funny, when you think of alan parsons, you tend to think of elaborate productions with lots of overdubbing,” shimabukuro said. “But here, he was all about the live performance, and i wasn’t expecting that. “i knew it was going to be a priceless opportunity for me, and i knew i had to go into it with an open mind and an open heart and just be a sponge as much as i could. i learned so much.” if his blazing chops and enthusiastic performing style put shimabukuro on the map as a solo musician, “grand ukulele” will surely enhance his credibility as a serious composer and arranger.

of spectacular r&B-based electronic music that sounds modern yet makes some obvious and reverent nods toward some of every time i’m just about ready to throw r&B’s biggest artists of yesteryear. my hands up in disgust over the state of listening to the tracks on the new album, modern music, an artist comes along that one can hear hints of prince (“Blaming gives me hope. something”), Zapp & roger (“do yourself That isn’t to say that all of today’s music is a faver”) and george clinton (“you know unlistenable, but a lot of it is pretty dreadful. my name”). This week’s redeeming artist is Jamie it’s a welcome return to form after his last lidell, who had released a self-titled album release, 2010’s “compass,” which proved to
be a bit disjointed and directionless. much like other contemporary artists that glance back at their r&B predecessors, such as Justin timberlake, usher and robin Thicke, lidell definitely gets the notion that in order to move forward artistically, one must be able to look back when necessary.
dig!!!,” a concept album based on the biblical story of Jesus resurrecting lazarus. on the new album, cave keeps things pretty stark and moody. “we no who u r,” the album’s leadoff track, sets the pace for the album. where “dig, lazarus, dig!!!” was loud and boisterous, “push the sky away” is much more subdued. There is plenty of pent-up energy in these songs though, and one can almost hear cave winding up his emotions like a watch spring as he performs songs such as “water’s edge” and the nearly eight-minute “higgs Boson Blues.”
not every track is a winner, and newcomers to cave’s work would be wise to delve into some of his earlier work first. But as is usual on a nick cave album, there is beauty among the tension. cave has always been more of a performance artist than a rock star, and this new album is no exception. for fans of nick cave & The Bad seeds, “push the sky away” will ultimately satisfy, if for no other reason than the fact that cave has once again created something unique.
his creative mind. played by a full jazz orchestra and recorded to sound like the music is being played on a victrola or through an oldfashioned tube radio set, the music here might sound new, but as it plays, you begin to catch some familiar melodies. wait, is that roxy music’s “love is the drug”? did i just hear the chorus to “don’t stop the dance”? yes, indeed. ferry has rerecorded 13 songs he either wrote for roxy music or during his solo career. The album is completely instrumental, which means ferry fans will have
fun picking out which ferry tunes made the cut. other notable inclusions are “Just like you” and “avalon.” while other artists are recording their versions of the great american songbook, ferry apparently decided that his own music was a more interesting subject. The end result is surprisingly interesting and listenable.

J Boog is a roots reggaeinfluenced rapper and vocalist who left compton for hawaii in 2006 to pursue his growing passion for the island music that lifted him from the violent streets of his youth. The following year, J Boog released “hear me roar” and began gaining a local following within the exclusive hawaiian reggae subculture. his big break came after catching the attention of morgan heritage co-founder roy “gramps” morgan. morgan signed the up-andcomer to his record label, wash house music inc., and released J Boog’s full-

charleston wine + food festival Eight years of celebrating our city’s good taste
By stratton lawrence Special to The Post and Courier
o
ver the past several years, the national media has caught on to a truth that lowcountry natives have been privy to for years: charleston is a fantastic place to eat. in 2006, when the charleston wine + food festival was in its infancy, our city was on the brink of stardom. hominy grill’s robert stehling claimed the title of Best chef southeast at 2008’s James Beard awards, dubbed the “oscars of the food world,” kicking off a triple crown that found mike lata (fig, The ordinary) and sean Brock (mccrady’s, husk) bringing that award home to charleston in the years following. last week, the Beard foundation continued its holy city praise, handing semifinalist nods for Best chef southeast to

Not just fried chicken
if there’s one misconception that the wine + food festival planners want to dispel, it’s that cuisine in charleston has little more to offer than southern standards. “we (the festival) don’t claim to be southern,” explains festival founder and executive director angel postell. “of course, we’re going to promote southern things because we’re in the south and we’re proud of that. But we’re not a shrimp and grits, fried chicken festival. we have chefs here in charleston that are using lowcountry ingredients, but they’re not necessarily doing southern food. That differentiates us, and it’s part of what’s cool about our city.” The lengthy list of guest chefs invited to this year’s festival speaks to that worldly focus, with big-name attendees from new york, chicago and san francisco. internationally celebrated australian chef Ben shewry is among those postell is most looking forward to having around. on friday night, shewry will collaborate with Brock and chef daniel patterson of san francisco’s coi for a seven-course dinner at mccrady’s, with pairings from oregon’s Brooks winery. shewry will also be on hand at noon friday in the festival’s culinary village, serving a native specialty, pukeko’s egg.

occurred without the presence and publicity that the wine + food festival provides our town each winter? more importantly, would locals have the array of world-class options we now enjoy when dining out? for one long weekend, the wine + food festival attracts many of the world’s most lauded chefs and connoisseurs to our town, serving as an overwhelmingly bountiful annual reminder of how tasty (and tasteful) life in the american south can be. The attention attracts new talent, and our selection and pool of skilled chefs continue to grow. “The wine + food festival has definitely put charleston on the culinary map,” attests this year’s chef chairman frank mcmahon (henry’s house), who moved here from los angeles in 1994. “Back then, there were a bunch of really good restaurants and groundbreaking chefs — frank lee, donald Barickman, louis osteen — but to see how the town has evolved is amazing. i don’t know if we would be in the spotlight as much if we didn’t have the festival here.” now in its eighth year, the BB&t charleston wine + food festival continues to work symbiotically with the burgeoning restaurant scene, attracting 21,000 attendees in 2012, 40 percent of whom traveled from more than 50 miles away. forbes recognizes the event as a top five food and wine event in the nation, and last year’s economic impact on the city was estimated at $8.6 million. That’s not bad for a festival, and a city, that’s still relatively new at setting its table as an international culinary destination.

Fest from page e21 for many local attendees, the culinary village is an obvious destination as the festival’s nucleus and epicenter, with threehour tasting sessions open friday through sunday, including a “locals” ticket on sunday priced at $70. attendees have the opportunity to sample small plates and wines from nearly 100 local restaurants and international vendors. “we worked hard this year to get more local chefs involved in the village,” said mcmahon. “restaurants have limited resources, especially on a busy weekend, so we’ve really reached out to the community to make it an accessible event. with two big tents in marion square with food to sample and thousands of people coming to the lowcountry to walk through, it’s a chance to show off the city and our cuisine.” in addition to cooking at the opening night party at the south carolina aquarium, mcmahon will be on hand at the henry’s house booth in the culinary village, where he’ll be serving a sweet corn, leek and ham hock bisque with shrimp and potatoes. for local restaurants and visiting chefs alike, sourcing produce from the lowcountry will be easier than ever before, thanks to the incorporation of growfood carolina as this year’s culinary community partner. The “food hub” connects farmers to restaurants, buying produce on consignment and taking only their operating costs to sustain themselves. “we’re sending out special availability lists of what’s in stock to local and visiting chefs, so they can order in advance for delivery, or they can still come through our cooler and actually shop during the festival,” said growfood general manager sara clow. “we’ll have a runner if people need things last minute. it’s all about making it easy for chefs to serve local food at the events.” although late february isn’t a prime harvest time in charleston, clow said they’ll have plenty of greens, cabbage, radishes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and turnips on hand, as well as pecans and charleston gold rice. at growfood’s tent in marion square, just outside the heirloom Book company authors’ book-signing tent, farmers from many of growfood’s suppliers will be present all weekend to discuss their specialties and how the food hub has improved their ability to distribute in charleston. The nonprofit will be offering samples of canned, pickled and fresh produce they’ve prepared for the festival. in addition to the two tasting tents, the culinary village will include short film screenings and presentations by celebrity authors and chefs at the southern foodways alliance culinary hub, as well as access to live cooking demonstrations in the celebrity kitchen, drinks and couches in the hospitality tent, and an outdoor living + grilling demonstration with a “lambs and clams” roasting and sample

Decisions, decisions
over the four days of the festival, attendees can choose between dozens of special meals, tours and events. There are still tickets available to some events (see our listing), but many events sold out almost immediately when tickets went on sale in september. one of this year’s fastest sellers was the
waffle house smackdown, pitting chefs mike lata and ed lee against michelle weaver and ashley christensen (all clad in classic waffle house attire) in a battle to recreate the iconic roadside diner’s signature dishes. for latecomers, organizers highlight a few favorites that still have last-minute availability, including the soul food shuffle, a tour of four local soul food restaurants with writer and farmer Jeff allen, and the This little piggy: pop-up market, both on friday. The latter will feature april Bloomfield, chef and author of “a girl and her pig,”
and includes a live deconstruction of a pig along with plenty of dishes featuring pork shoulder, belly, loin, ribs and sausages, all from caw caw creek farm. “you have to love pork to go to This little piggy,” said postell, calling the event a “hidden jewel” of the weekend itinerary. “it’s a chance to have intimate, direct dialogue with some of the country’s best chefs and feel very connected to your food.” likewise, she notes the soul food shuffle for the homage it pays to spots such as Bertha’s kitchen, “the people who started the food culture here.” wine lovers and refined palates alike have plenty of upscale events to choose from as well, including a Big Bottles tasting and auction at lowndes grove plantation on saturday, private home tours and meals with select culinary authors, and saturday afternoon’s pinot envy uncorked! at the charleston harbor resort and marina. Beer lovers can hop on the charleston Brew hops shuttle, a tour of local breweries, while evenings offer plenty of opportunities to cut loose, from the Jailhouse shake-up on friday at the old city Jail to saturday night’s party around the world at the visitor center Bus shed, featuring international cuisine from china, spain, mexico, italy and germany. The weekend closes sunday evening with a distinctly southern event, the rigs, pigs and swigs BBQ at the mount pleasant visitor center, featuring bluegrass from The Bushels and pitmasters from across the south. “it’s not a typical BBQ,” said postell. “There are fish, shrimp and chicken options, and it’s the largest portions of any event all weekend. plus, a lot of our local chefs go, so it’s a time to hang out with them, after they’ve been in their kitchens all weekend.” please see Fest, page e23

A growing culture
although no food scene should ever be judged by the media exposure it receives, the spotlight on charleston has certainly made it more attractive to diners and chefs. even though charleston may be experiencing a peak in national interest at the moment, local chefs and wine + food festival planners have confidence that the city can maintain its reputation. “as long as our chefs and restaurants continue to get creative and adventurous and spread out, i think the media will continue to have an interest,” said postell. “some people may think we’re a one-hit wonder, and attention will move to another city, but i do think charleston is very solid and has sustainability.” each year, attracting toptier talent to the festival has grown easier, said postell, adding that most chefs immediately ask to come back. That’s partially due to wine + food’s efforts to refine itself. while the first years of the festival featured celebrity chefs such as Bobby flay and an attention on “top chef” personalities, the focus is now on what makes charleston unique and the international chefs who are quietly “doing unbelievable things in their own kitchens.” The festival itself is a nonprofit organization, spending 90 percent of its budget locally and donating more than a quarter-million dollars to scholarship programs to foster future chefs at the art institute, trident culinary institute and the college of charleston. postell predicts that the growth of charleston’s culinary scene will occur in the “nooks and crannies” of neighborhoods outside of the peninsula, as well as a growing incorporation of ethnic foods into menus. That’s a logical progression, especially considering that many chefs, including festival chair mcmahon, worry that the downtown and king street area may be nearing oversaturation of

Then again, it’s often the hidden-away spots that ultimately inspire the most fanatical patrons, especially when locals feel like they’re in on a secret. in charleston’s case, as a whole, our secret is out. “when you go out to eat in other cities, a lot of times
you’re kind of disappointed,” said postell. “we’re just spoiled here. we have some of the most talented chefs in the country in our city. That’s what we’re putting the spotlight on, and the chefs we bring in are coming to celebrate that and go, ‘heck, yeah, charleston’s awesome.’ ”

ace’s on bridge By BOBBY WOLFF
Two of the original ACBL Life Masters were players whose surnames differed by a single letter. We saw a deal earlier this month defended by Sam Fry; time, therefore, to credit Richard Frey, who was the fifth member of the Four Aces, the first team to take on Eli Culbertson. He collaborated with Howard Schenken in a daily column for over 30 years. Here is a deal that he defended expertly.Againstthreeno-trump, Frey(West)ledtheheartfour.Declarer played low from dummy, and East won the trick with his king and returned the heart nine, declarer following first with the heart seven, then with the queen. Declarer now attacked diamonds, and Frey could see that
he would be able to win the diamond ace and clear hearts. But what were the chances that he would regain the lead with the spade ace before declarer had cashed nine tricks? It is very easy to focus on your own hand and your own plans without considering what declarer might do to combat them. Here, Frey correctly concluded that he had little chance of success by clearing the hearts. Since he could also see the danger of ducking even one diamond trick if declarer had six clubs, he took hisdiamondaceatonceandshifted to the spade jack. Since East had the spade king, with length, this ensured that the defenders could take three spade tricks and set the contract.

ear aBBy: my exwife cheated on me five years ago. she ran off with a nonworking criminal type and has been bouncing from place to place with this bozo ever since. when they and their 3-year-old became homeless two weeks ago, all of a sudden she showed up at my door shoeless and with their son in a diaper. she said her boyfriend was abusive and asked to stay with me until she finds a place. i agreed under the provision that she not see this guy. i am a hard-working single father of two. i know my heart is two sizes too big for my own good sometimes, and i don’t want to be taken advantage of. abby, did i make the right choice? or should i have told her she was not welcome and turned her and her son away? i really feel i shouldn’t have to help her, and she should rely on her loser boyfriend, whom she has started seeing again. i need guidance and your expert advice. am i an idiot? — confused DEAR CONFUSED: You’re not an idiot; you’re a pushover. Your ex already has broken the agreement she made when you let her in. The situation is not going to get better; it will only become more complicated. You have helped her for two weeks. Now it’s time to direct her to a shelter that can help her get her life back together and give her son a stable home. Your responsibility for her welfare ended when she left you for another man. dear aBBy: i just finished reading the letter from “cafe crazy” about the woman changing the baby on the restaurant’s table. you advised that she should have taken the baby to the ladies’ room to change it on a changing table there, and if there wasn’t one, there should be. i am a stay-at-home father and many times have had to resort to an awkward changing table alternative to accomplish the task (though
dear abby
never a restaurant table), as there are very few changing tables in men’s rooms. in these dynamic, diverse and changing economic times, the ability to stay home and raise my children has been awesome, and i would do it over again in a heartbeat. it has been hard, however, because society still assumes that raising children is a woman’s job. not only should there have been a changing table in the ladies’ room, but also one in the men’s room. abby, please help us proud papas to raise our children with the same facilities allowed the mamas of the world! — grant in sunnyvale, calif. DEAR GRANT: I apologize, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to not only help fathers everywhere to raise their children, but also to raise consciousness where it is needed. Since the letter from “Crazy Cafe” was printed, I have heard from parents of both sexes as far away as Denmark. Although some men’s restrooms are equipped with changing tables, not all are, and they should be. Another solution is a “family” restroom; however, many establishments have neither the money nor the room to install a third one. dear aBBy: something has been bothering me and i’d like your opinion. if a group of people goes out to eat together and no one wants to order dessert except one person, is it rude for that person to keep everyone else waiting and watching while he/she orders and eats the dessert? — check, please DEAR CHECK, PLEASE: It’s not rude if you first ask the others in the group if they would mind, and they wanted to chat over coffee.
