The Owl Odyssey is an on-going adventure story for our wonderful mah jong community. Friends sharing our passion for the game and the love of collecting. One continuing theme discussed with my friends in emails, over the phone, and even over lunch is,  "What stories would we hear if this set could talk?" or "I wish I knew who had played with it, and where it has been". 

Just days before Christmas of 2016, something happened that inspired me . . .

I own and love a unique Owl Bam mah jong set. My vision is for this set is to fly around the world, be played with by all of my mah jong friends and just maybe, some soon to be new friends. It would travel from city to city, foreign lands and back again, all the while collecting stories from its encounters. As Mark Twain put it,  "How far we travel matters far less than those we meet along the way." 

This Owl Bam set will answer that question of "who", "what", "where" and "when, with a documented record of its travels and all the friends who shared in it's story.

If you are interested in playing with this set, sharing the set with your group and your story with the rest of us,  this is all you need to do...

Tell me your story of why this Owl set should visit you.  Be creative.  Happy, uplifting and fun stories are encouraged.  If the Owl loves your story, the Owl will come and visit your group. Let's have some fun and make history!

The scrapbook will chronologically document all the stories, photographs, and trinkets. (please take pictures of your group playing and send it to me via email).  If you have something you would like to contribute to this Odyssey, it should be "posted" (snail mail) directly to me.  Who knows what will be added to this story and collected along the way.

At the end of its journey, the set will be auctioned off, the highest bidder will be awarded the Owl Bam set and the scrapbook complete with all the mementos.  What a treasure to have a documented history. 100% of the proceeds will go to a charity which will be announced at a later date.  

The Odyssey started on Christmas Day 2016. The Owl spent the holidays with a large extended family in Lansing MI,  next it was played with by a group in Lansing and from there it went to another family members group in Harrisburg, PA. The set is now back in parliament and waiting for its next destination.
