First time I'm sharing this clip of my Aunt Daisy showing me the meanings of the mah jong tiles during my last visit with her in 2019.
So glad I had the presence of mind to capture this...and her voice

THE HOUSE OF MAH JONG, a proposed TV series inspired by my memoir Dancing in Their Light, is now entering the television and streaming marketplace.
A story of family, immigration, identity, and the unforgettable world of a 1970s Polynesian nightclub.

Two dancers (Mapela Wong and me) from Mah Jong's Polynesian restaurant reuniting after 58 years. Mapela is holding my book which captured the golden era of our Polynesian nightclub in the 1960's and '70s!

A shout-out to my AAA travel agent, Tara Brewer, based in Salt Lake City.
What sets Tara apart is how far she goes beyond the basics. She calls me before I take off to make sure I am all set, checks in to see how I am when I land. Concierge service at its finest!
