Are you bridging next week? Consider this a friendly reminder that Wednesday, 25 January is a national holiday in observance of something or another. Now might be a good time to weigh your odds of escaping and turning over the shop to your minions (or rolling the dice and seeing whether you can get away with asking the boss to bridge). It’s our last national holiday until 16-17 April, when we celebrate Eastern Easter and Sham El Nessim.
