First time playing on an auto-table. It even flips the dora tile! So cool, but hand shuffling/building the wall is cathartic lol. #riichi #mahjong

Last night’s Riichi meetup taught me I need to play a bit more defensive. “Know when to hold ‘em know when to fold ‘em” applies to Mahjong too. Especially when the player to your right calls riichi.

I think I may have a problem… 72 Riichi Mahjong matches during the month of October. I have become Riichi Mahjong obsessed. In other news I picked up my 1st ICCF Master Norm in chess. #bgstats

After a bit of a self imposed hiatus, I’m painting again. I’ll take it as a win that Siri could identify the species of my painting correctly

Happen upon this little Hermit Thrush on my walk this morning….

Hardly a vocabulary left to wonder, uncertain
as we are of so much in this existence, this
botched, cumbersome, much-mended,
not unsatisfactory thing.

Learn something new everyday. I never knew Coltrane lived in Philly! He played the Jawn like no other :-)
Work and funding underway to repair and program John Coltrane’s Strawberry Mansion house
A new nonprofit created by descendants of the jazz legend will take over stewardship of the future Philadelphia cultural space.
