I’ve Created an Addict

I have been friends with Suzanne since 1979. If you are not good at math, that 46 years. I have been playing Mah Jongg thirty of those years. I have been teaching 25. She finally came to one of my classes. She convinced her friend Tracy Tang to come learn too. They have had two days of the three of Beginner lessons.

I left my room here at High Hampton at 9:00AM. I was not able to return until 10:30PM. When I wasn’t teaching, I was eating with Suzanne, Tracy and Jan talking about Mah Jongg or playing Mah Jongg with them.

When class ended at 5:30 Suzanne, who was not in that class, came right in my Mah Jongg room to start playing. We played past our dinner reservation. Eventually we went to dinner, but Suzanne was chomping at the bit to get back to the table.

She stood at the end of the dining room beckoning us to come on. We played and played. She learned every lesson the hard way.

She won the last hand. She is no longer a mah Jongg virgin. Addicted? Absolutely.
