The Glamorous Life of a Mah Jongg Teacher

I will never complain about being a Mah Jongg teacher because it really is the most fun job. I love meeting new people and sharing the game with them. What I don’t love is delayed travel.

I am on my way to Houston. I have to say Houston, especially Nancy and Kari are very kind and generous to me. I have a big group coming to learn and am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Even my darling Cousin Meredith is coming to class.

I try and fly into Hobby because it is so much closer to Nancy’s house, where I am staying. That being said, I have to fly Southwest. Not my favorite, but not usually terrible.

No matter how many times I check the app it always shows my flight on time… until the second I get through security and then it changes to delayed. To be expected as I am taking an afternoon flight. I usually try and take the first flight in the morning to avoid this, but that is not the way this trip worked out. So on both ends I am taking a later flight.

No matter how delayed it is I have to get to Houston as classes start tomorrow. By the time the students show up all this travel stuff will be behind me and I can fall into the joy of teaching.
