ON MY WAY TO L.A.!!!
Right now I am on my way back to my beloved and much-missed home of Los Angeles where I will be speaking, signing books, and – of course – playing Mah Jongg tomorrow, November 12th, at the Jewish Federation’s 17th Annual Jewish Book Festival. I hope all of you in the greater L.A. area will join me. Reservations are required – no tickets sold at the door.
CALLING ALL LOS ANGELENOS!!!
I am so thrilled to be planning my trip back to my once-home of Los Angeles where I will be speaking, signing books, and – of course – playing Mah Jongg on November 12th at the Jewish Federation’s 17th Annual Jewish Book Festival. I hope all of you in the greater L.A. area will join me. Reservations are required – no tickets sold at the door.
TRAGIC!
I am trying and trying to play the SINGLES AND PAIRS hands on this year’s card but all I ever get is close and, as we all know, there is no second place in Mah Jongg. When I think of all the times that I pray for a Joker…but, wouldn’t you know it, I get one just when I don’t need it! This isn’t the first time that I have tried to win with this hand of FF 11 33 55 77 99 DD – but those Soaps just kept getting discarded and I didn’t have that second 9 Dot yet and so couldn’t pick up any of them. You can see them on the table – so frustrating and, as Johni Levene (Los Angeles’ Mah Jongg teacher extraordinaire!) would say, TRAGIC!
WORDS TO LIVE BY…
This should be every Mah Jongg player’s mantra:
Thanks to Johni Levene…the woman I call the “Mah Jongg teacher extraordinaire”…and she is. Not only is she one of the top Mah Jongg teachers in the country – BTW, she is based in Los Angeles – she is also extremely generous and giving with her thoughts and this one is from her.
DO YOU HAVE A SPARE 15 HOURS?
Los Angeles Mah Jongg teacher extraordinaire, Johni Levene, found this Mah Jongg project. If you happen to have an extra 15 hours of free time, you might want to work on this!
