Too Much Fun

I am running out of time, battery and juice to write my blog tonight and it’s all Page Littlewood’s fault. We had a Big time at her house tonight with a beyond Beginner class. Page gathered a most fun group of people to spend three evenings learning how to be better players.

She set up her house as a perfect mah jongg parlor and everyone enjoyed food and drink while we learned. It got to the point that if all four tables guessed the right answer they got to drink. This turned learning into a great drinking game. It was hard to tell if their analysis improved with each sip or improved because they wanted a sip.

After class a few of us stayed and George joined us as we talked all about Durham and how much we love it, even when quirky things happen.

We stayed much too late leaving me mere minutes to write and post and only single digits of battery life left on my iPad after pulling up so many mah Jongg hands for class.

It is hard to beat the beauty of Beaufort, with the shrimp boats coming in as the sun was going down. But the people are the true jewel of this wonderful town. I could have stayed up and talked all night, but my early morning students might not be happy about that. Now I need to find a way to wind down quickly after such a fun night.
