Mahjong Tile

Playing Mahjong On Thanksgiving

Okay, here is a page with three things I did while in New Jersey. On Thanksgiving Day, my brother Mark and Wendy taught me how to play mahjong, a Chinese game similar to rummy. Look how interesting those tiles are!

Mahjong Cheat Sheet Mark made me a cheat sheet so I could understand the numerical symbols of the tiles.

Mark loves playing mahjong and I captured a shot of Wendy (right) concentrating on the game. See how she already had two three of a kinds in front of her?

Oh ... and note the Dunkin' Donuts cups! :p)

Sandy Hook - The New Jersey Shore Area

The day after Thanksgiving, I traveled to the New Jersey shore as part of my recent ritual to see the ocean once per year. On this day, I traveled to Sandy Hook, a peninsula in Monmouth County located at the northernmost point of New Jersey's shoreline.

    Dunkin' Donuts

    Because the nearest Dunkin' Donuts is 105 miles from my home and these shops are very scarce in the West, I have been visiting these places daily! At a Dunkin' Donuts in Sea Bright (along the shore), I bought this nifty Dunkin' Donuts t-shirt. I love it! :)

    Dunkin' Donuts Shop So Bernie and I visited a Dunkin' Donuts in Essex County, New Jersey. I snapped this photo of Bernie talking on his cell phone.
    Dunkin' Donuts Dunkin' Donuts Shop Yeah baby! I really loved my vanilla spice coffee (cream, no sugar) and toasted coconut donut. Bernie enjoyed a breakfast croissant.

    By the way, donut shops has been on my web site before. Check these out ...

  • Dunkin' Donuts with teenagers
  • Krispy Kreme in Denver area
  • Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glazed Munchkins Bernie bought those chocolate glazed munchkins for himself. Mmmmmmmm!
    Dunkin Donuts A photo of me outside the place. Friends, I am considering making a "Dunkin Donuts Fans" type of web site for the millions of people like me who are obsessed with their great donuts and amazing coffee. Stay tuned! ;)
