Wilmington Friends
Posted: July 14, 2026 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentCame down to the coast to teach at Figure 8 Island this week. So happy to be back in the saddle of sharing my favorite game. Also great to have so many returning students. It’s just more fun when students are friends. It’s also easier when they know what I am like and what language I might use.

I had the pleasure of getting together with three of my favorite Wilmington friends, Carol Anne, Darby and Mah Jongg Mary for dinner. I invited them to have dinner and they tricked me by taking me to a private club so they took me to dinner. We sat outside by the ocean and it was windy, but lovely. So there was no accounting for my hair.
Mary’s son stopped by and I got to meet him which was very sweet. We had fun conversations catching up on everyone’s big life events. It would have only been better if we could have played mah Jongg. We did discuss a few mah Jongg dilemmas, which we solved so all will be right in the world.
Thanks to my sweet Wilmington friends. You need to come and see me in Durham so I can trick you and take you out to dinner.
