Well, just the opposite actually. Sometimes we do things (especially in our 70’s) and don’t put 2 and 2 together immediately. Couple weeks ago I used a diamond shaper that one side is dime, other side nickel. I had not shaped the tip since I bought the cue from Syberts about 8 months ago. So I...

Pool Table Magic at the airport is open evenings, and most of the time there are leagues. Tables are early GC’s, play well but newer cloths wouldn’t hurt. Food is pretty good. Very enjoyable league play spot.
