The Guilty Party Is Herself

There is a scandal this week, and Prim regrets to report that the guilty party is herself. She lost track of the week so completely that Thursday arrived without her, which is not a small matter for a woman whose reputation rests on noticing things. She is also not sorry, and this issue explains why. Five months into the card, your knowledge of it has hardened into habit, and habit has a way of bending your neck downward while three living people sit across from you telling you everything. So this week is about lifting your eyes: the three stale habits worth breaking at the halfway mark, what your tempo broadcasts to the room whether you intend it or not, a teacher who sells confidence rather than tricks, and a club in Opelika, Alabama that runs mahjong out of a pub, a bakery, an ice cream shop, a brewery and a steakhouse. The card is fixed. The table is alive.

There is a scandal this week, and Prim regrets to report that the guilty party is herself. She lost track of the week so completely that Thursday arrived without her, which is not a small matter for a woman whose reputation rests on noticing things.

So this week is about lifting your eyes: the three stale habits worth breaking at the halfway mark, what your tempo broadcasts to the room whether you intend it or not, a teacher who sells confidence rather than tricks, and a club in Opelika, Alabama that runs mahjong out of a pub, a bakery, an ice cream shop, a brewery and a steakhouse.
