Boston Mah Jongg

Last Spring Carter and Claire asked me if I would come to Boston and teach their friends how to play Mah Jongg. What a silly question. Of course I love nothing more than spreading the Mah Jongg love amongst their friends. Little did I know that the weekend we would pick would be the head of the Charles. So the city is covered in tourists and rowing fans.

Our class was tonight after work so it was nice that all these young people came after working all week. Carter was able to use the conference room in her building so we had a good place to learn.

Carter ordered dinner to be delivered to her office. As everyone was arriving Carter got a text that the grub hub driver had delivered the food with a photo of it sitting on the loading dock of the seafood warehouse across the street from Carter’s building. Carter and her friend Keves ran across the street to get the order before a big semi pulled up to that dock. The driver did not get the right building, but he left the food at dock 6 which is the number of Carter’s building.

When Carter and Keves got back they alerted us that the order was also missing three Pizza’s. Claire got involved then dealing with the missing pizzas. We just started the learning part of class while we waited for the rest of the dinner to arrive.

I love teaching young people because they pick everything up quickly. They learned most of the basics before we hit the Friday Night wall and everyone went home to rest up for a big day of learning/playing tomorrow. The bonus for me is meeting this fun Boston friends and Norman Clair’s sweet golden doodle who came to class with his emotional support vest on. I hope Norman liked Mah Jongg class.
