    Last year you quoted someone who said: “I never lose at Mah Jongg. I either win or I learn something.” Please remind me of the author – I say it all the time in my Mah Jongg classes and I want to credit that wise woman. (I also tell them to read your blog.) Thanks, Janet Fine P.S. I met Gregg Swain at her talk at Kiawah, S.C. Lovely presentation!
