* Observant readers may notice the absence of the Two of Clubs in the current (first) trick. This is due to the format of Table Lamp Hearts. The lamp happened to be holding the 2C, and since it plays randomly, when its first play was a different club we just went with that.
*** Edit, 11/21: Giving the lamp an actual journal wasn't my idea. But I approve. -B
