Strange Times

"Thirteen wonders" hand

These are strange times. The national conversation this week is about an event that we were taught could never happen--a default by the U.S. Treasury on its obligations.

And last week I won a 13 Wonders limit hand in mah jongg, something that I've never done in over 40 years of playing the game.

At the opening I started with ten of the fourteen tiles necessary to complete the hand. It only took five draws for me to win. "I never thought I'd live to see it"---been saying that quite often lately.
