    Poolroom Closed after 52 years

    Loree Jon Jones, Dawn Hopkins and Joanne Mason were three I remember well. Joanne would gamble with the guys and she won as often as she lost. Billie Billing too, would come to play. My favorite to chat with will always be Julie Kelly.

    Johnny Archer vs Mike Dechaine, Derby action.

    The deciding factor on who wins, could very well depend on who racks the balls. If Mike racks, I make him the 4 to 1 favorite. Trick racking wins over skill every time.

    Trying to get Earl to sign my case at the DCC

    I was always a huge fan of Earl. I had quite a collection of Billiard Digest magazines with Earl on the cover and at one time or another he autographed most of them for me. I saw him at Turning Stone, working Mike Gulyassy's table, so I stopped and told him I was a huge fan. He looks at me and...

I check the Help Wanted ads in the paper for a job, nope no poolroom manager openings. I still hope to...

    I am sick, car broken into!!!!!!!

    My cue is under a blanket on the back seat. Also under the blanket is three #4 Newhouse wolf traps, all set to catch greedy little fingers. Under both sides of the front seat is a set # 2. That's not a good place to reach into either. They'll still be there when I'm done shopping.
