our group, Sakonit, met last Saturday at the home of the MD of the group, Jerry. he lives in Philinvest 2, and has a wonderful home, and like all homes when December nears, a little crowded because all the Christmas decors are out...
we played mahjong. i havent played in the .... maybe last 10 years, and was a trifle rusty, but i broke even.
i was thinking if i could parley my jedi sense (you know, when you sense things beyond the normal ken) into winnings. i guess my jedi sense isnt for financial gain, more for danger - and that's good enough for me.
i discovered that everyone in the group knew how to play, if not prodigiously, then at least adequately. i was never one with jokers except when playing poker with family members - and then we'd have all kinds, queen-low, one-eyed jacks, bigotes wild. we played one mahjong game with a joker and it was interesting - and fast!
in an aside,
my dad taught his children to play contract bridge, poker, and mahjong just in case a group of people needed a fourth, and he felt all his children should be able to play. not really into bridge, but i know someone who used to be into it. dont know if he is still playing.......
