As a teen I watched Colivita gamble with a player named Ernie Lager in the '60's. Ernie wasn't quite on Colavita's level, but he had money and loved the limelight of playing in front of a crowd.

I've been playing since 1961 and have seen 100's and 100's of players. Almost without exception a player reaches a certain level and stays there for life.

I live in Colorado and would play in a weekly league in Virginia, but I had to quit because the jet fuel for my private jet got too expensive.

I heard those numbers had something to do with internal production. My Lucasi has 7-11 on the butt just like the old pool room 7-11 in NYC, that I visited a few times in the 60's.

I saw several examples of his wrap work and it's excellant. This is a side gig/hobby for him not his main source of income, how many cue repair guys drive a late model Corvette?

My cue repair guy just put a leather wrap that I supplied on my cue. He had to remove the linen and replace with leather for a very reasonable $50. My question is he said it takes him 4 hours to do the job, is this about right?

I have a Schmelke and for the money they are hard to beat. This one I paid $230 a couple years ago, plays jam up.

I'll be at Felt tomorrow at 10 AM I play all games, just ask for Bruce. I'm a 586 Fargo so I can be competitive.

I had a bowel movement today which at 79 is way more impressive than running a 47 for me. Most days running a 47 is not that hard for me but a bowel movement is.
