Something's Gotta Give

Early tomorrow evening, I leave for the American Contract Bridge League's Fall National Tournament.  (Actually, "national" is a bit of a misnomer.  Roughly 65 countries from all over the world will have players attending.)  Play lasts ten days; most, if not all of those days, I'll be battling away from about 1PM until 11PM - or later.

In my "free time," I'll be writing columns and taking photographs for the League, checking on current real estate markets news and conditions for my clients, trying to remain a tad up to date on the news, getting a modicum of exercise - and - following up on an offer to purchase that a client wishes to draft in the hours before my flight departs.  I will tuck that task in between a few loads of laundry, packing, and gathering up my photographic equipment.

Did I mention in the midst of it all, my laptop is having hiccups?

I hope I will not become abysmal about updating what if?  But - as the title says - something does have to give.  Responsibilities to clients and partners come first, as well as my virgin tournament roving reporter duties. 

So, please bear with me.  If I can give here, I shall.  If not?  Know that between six no-trump and "do you want the washer and dryer to be included?" I will be thinking about you!
