    BCA -- On the Road to Nowhere

    Humor? ....when I responded to your original post, the organization of all of those thoughts about money just rushed to the page. The bad news is, that it's always just about money. Even among the best intentioned, in this arena of pool, it's always MONEY. "I wish there was an organization...

    Is this Brunswick a good find?

    9ft. Sport King? ....you won't lose money on a 9ft. Brunswick commercial table from this time period, at a grand. With new rubber, new Simonis, and the condition being restored some, this will probably be an excellent home table for you. Can the wife maybe even hit a few balls on it to see...
