    Got a couple of pool related books.

    I know this shot!

    As in most areas around the country, Diamond bar boxes have replaced a lot of the Valleys over the last few years. When the Diamonds first started showing up, I noticed real quick they banked much tighter than the old Valleys, so I had to make the adjustment. Also, the ball being banked seemed...

    The One Who Puts Up With You

    I waited 50 years of my life to meet "The One". It was worth the wait! We met at the pool hall and practically over night became good friends. I coached her and a few of her team mates over the next couple of years. In 2001, she and her team mates won the BCAPL National Ladies Open Team...

    Funny thing happened tonight!

    I went to league tonight and had a few drinks. Played well but our team lost, 11-10. No big deal. I don't play much anymore. After league, I was still thirsty so I stopped by the poolroom I used to play at daily. Been there maybe eight times over the last couple of years. I made the rounds...

    Postshot routine!

    There has been quite a bit of discussion on AZ about "preshot routine". I thought I would discuss my "postshot routine" from the tournament this last weekend. It went something like this: "Whack", the f-word bomb, stomp my feet, roll my eyes to the ceiling and say "You've got to be sh*tting...
