It really is amazing, the number of wonderful, great people that are in my life today solely because of my love of billiards throughout my entire life.

Particularly at this time of year, I reflect on the friendships and fellowship that have come my way, and I simply want to take a moment to express my appreciation for this benefit that my love of pool has afforded me.
And yes, many of my treasured friendships were begun through my interaction on AZB over the years.

A side benefit of living in the world of pool, but one not mentioned often enough. :)

This kind of positive, happy, friendly stuff has no place on a pool forum!

Haha...just kidding. It's nice to hear something good on here for a change. Thanks for posting this.

I have many friends I've met entirely through pool, and some of my very closest and deepest friendships started there.

Nice post!

You are a special treat for the members of AZB, highly respected, followed and enjoyed at every turn.
And every time I read one of your posts I am reminded of my very dear friend Kevin Brewer.

A very Happy New Year to you!

Wonderful words Will
So many friendships I can hardly count them all.
To all of them, thank you for tollerating me as long as you have :)

Everyone have a happy and hopefully safe holiday !

This is the main reason that I believe in the Power of Pool. There are some really good people that love this sport. If we capitalize on the love and devotion to the game the rest will eventually right itself. I firmly believe in that and I live it and not just preach it.
 
Thanks for the nice positive post, it seems like the forum can get pretty negative at times.

If I look back, I wouldn't have ever met a lot of my friends if pool wasn't in my life.

Couldn't agree more. Thanks man.

I love pool. Love it. I love the people I have met because of it. I have absolutely ZERO negative feeling towards it.

My daughter would not be here if not for this game. I love her and my lovely pool playing wife.

Play on.
 
I've been hanging out in pool rooms for 55 years in several states.
the one constant I have seen is that they are a place for some people that are a little off and are not generally accepted anywhere else.As long as they stay in line they do tend to fit in in their own way.
I have met 100's of people thru the years and I'm still optimistic that I will find at least one that I like.
Maybe I'm the odd ball? :eek:

Lol, you answered your own question;)

Read your comment starting with the question first!

We are ALL a "little off";)
 
And the neat thing, to me? You never know who you are gonna take a liking to either: all walks of life accepted.

Very true Will. I remember our first phone conversation. I did not know about Az and thought I had too many cues (which was probably around 8 at the time). :o You pointed me in the right direction. I found like guns, you never have enough cues. I too have made a number of friends starting with you and thanks to you.

Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year to all.

Very nice post, Will. I'm glad we met here and in Olathe - and glad for all the billiard friendships I have made over the years as well.

Peace to all,
Dave

Hi Dave,

There is a big tournament coming up at Shooters Olathe in February. You ought to try and make it. I'll have you over to the house and we can talk cars and cues!
