Congratulations Graduates

This was a fun week in my Mah Jongg world. I had a class or I played a game everyday this week. Sounds decadent. Monday was the first day of Durham beginners class with Lucy, Kathryn, Kay, Trena and Page. Tuesday was third class of Chapel Hill friends Alice, Kim, Lisa and Linda. Wednesday was my regular game where I got to play and not teach. Thursday was Durham’s second class and today was Durham’s third and final class. It also happened to be Kay’s birthday.
I am happy to report that there are many new Mah Jongg players in the area. Everyone caught on to the game and improved to the point of being able to figure out what to pass without help. If you do not know what that means it is time for you to learn to play Mah Jongg.
Teaching everyday but one was a fun way to spend the week. If I was not such a natural born salesman I probably would have liked being a teacher. When I was a kid playing “school” was a favorite game for me. I used to love to make worksheets up for my much younger sister who did not find math a fun game. It is too bad, because she might have gotten further along in math if she had stuck with the “school game” a little longer. She always wanted to quit playing school and play beauty parlor instead.
Now that my week of running Mah Jongg school is over I am going to miss it tomorrow. I know there are other people who have asked me to teach them and I am happy to start up a new class, I just need to know if you want a day or evening class. Now that basketball is over evening is easier.
In the past month I have had beginners, intermediate and advanced Mah Jongg classes and it is amazing to me to see how much more there is to teach people who have been playing a while. One of the friends in the beginners class today asked me what else I taught because we were having such a fun time at Mah Jongg. Now I am trying to think of what else I know that I can teach. I know it is not math.
