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

Happy Anniversary to you both! I think (I could be wrong) that the traditional gift for 26 years is a Cat. (Modern gift a Kitten). Happy Anniversary.

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.

You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

He was ridiculously a good boy. He wore the collar of Fishman.

Last night’s David Byrne show at the Met in Philly was unlike anything I have seen in my life. Wireless musicians, no wires/monitors/micstands/stacks/effects pedals. The musicians danced Choreographically with HD set images (sometimes moving) projected around them. The sound quality was PERFECT.

I am falling down a Mahjong rabbit hole. Since learning the rules, I have been digging the strategy/scoring/History behind both the Chinese & Richi Rule sets. Found a Mahjong Meetup Group (Philly Mah-Jawn) that I’m going to check out. Been playing against apps be nice to play in person. #mahjong
