Drooling!

After not playing mahjong for a few months, I walked in on a game in progress just after the Charleston was completed…. I watched a player picking up and organizing her tiles for play and because there were only 3 players, the dummy rack was getting set up as well. On that rack I saw an 8 crack exposed  and my mind immediately went to even numbers and other options 🤣🤣 Ohh and then I saw a joker on the players rack I was observing getting set up.. The tiles were so familiar looking: it produced a warm, welcome, longing feeling..I wanted to jump right in and play!
