I hade a great time at Figure 8 this week. I had a most special class of beginners who are off and running run and a fun and rollicking class of beyond beginners. The Figure 8 yacht club staff are always so nice and accommodating to me. And the teachers at the yoga and dance classes that are in the adjoining room could not have been friendlier. Especially when we are loud in mah Jongg. By we, that is mostly me being loud in Mah Jongg.

One of my beyond beginner students told me the best phrase that I am going to have got start to incorporate in my teaching. We were talking about having to obtain a pair of tiles for a hand and she said, “If you don’t have a pair, you can’t grow a pair.” (If you play mah Jongg you will get the joke.)

By the end of the last class I was tired. I missed exchanging a joker and said a bad word. No surprise there. But everyone was a good sport and we had a lots of good lessons learned. Mostly, don’t miss getting a joker.

I drove home tonight and Russ and Shay were so happy to see my they quickly passed out in bed. I am just happy to be home with them and in my own bed. Love teaching, love Russ and Shay more.
