MAH JONG

So what do I want to talk about today? A guilty addiction and no it's not Angry Birds. My old injury gets cranky if I even think of using that iPhone App so I deleted it a long time ago while I was still in the brace for the repetitive stress injury on my hand/thumb. This guilty addiction? Here's the thing – I swore I wouldn't do it. I swore I couldn't. I had so many reasons – I didn't want to make a commitment to be somewhere every week. I didn't want to always be with people. I didn't like "games." I wasn't any good at it and found it too difficult. I admit there were times when I thought I'd be old and gray and everyone would be playing and I'd be alone … in my house or nursing home or whatever. But then some good friends wanted to learn. I showed up once to be nice. And they sucked me right in and wouldn't let me go …

MAH JONG. It's a game played with four people. Lots of older Jewish people play (that's a stereotype but true and b/c I'm Jewish I figure I can say that.) It's addicting. And we play weekly, get together for lunch and play, ignore phone calls from family and kids, refuse to pick up the little ones from school, and basically … become our mothers. (But that was another post). Anyway, if you don't see me on Twitter any given afternoon … you can pretty much figure what I'm doing. Because on Mah Jong days, I get up early to get my writing in so I can play guilt free.



Have you ever played Mah Jong? Have another guilty addiction you want to share?
