From what @dhansen says and their street address it seems pretty clear that it is in CA, which makes it a no go for me - just one of my quirks. That's too bad because I was really starting to look forward to it, and seeing you, and taking you and Diane out to dinner. Hopefully in the future...

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I can make a reservation. I'd like to take you and your lady to dinner one of those evenings. OK, wait a minute, I do a search on Quechan Casino and what comes up is a resort in Winterhaven, CA., not Yuma AZ. Am I missing something? If it is in CA I wouldn't...

Does anyone have the dates and the name of the venue for this event in Yuma? Thanks.

I'm thinking about it. It's only about 3-1/2 hours away. Will you be driving?

Clever shot Dave, and nice to see Dollar Dick in the background. Tell him I say Hi! What's the tourney in Jan.?

I see that our friend @Bert van Manen is entered. Good luck, Bert.

Congratulations, retirement is awesome (11 years in) especially if you have family nearby and even more especially if family includes grandkids.

He has a classic case of not knowing what you don't know.

Due to his many years of covering the game all over the world and knowing all of the top players, Bert's advice is far superior to some random guy on the internet. I'd trust his advice. Use the money you save on RP to get some nice Klematch rubber and having it set up by a professional.

Thanks for bringing the facts, Bert.

I like to watch pro-level videos and pause them to decide what shot I'd select before resuming and see what they actually shoot. Of course in some cases they shoot something I never could, like a power draw around the table. And videos with Blomdahl and Bert commenting are particularly useful...

The book Billiards Manual - Three Cushion by Gerhard Hüpper, has an extensive discussion of the various types of billiard strokes. Plus a lot of other great material you don't easily find elsewhere...

Really looking forward to Caudron v. Jaspers in the semi-final.

Thanks.

How does the cost compare between the various brands?

NBD, but FYI, you spelled 'League' wrong. I wish this had been there when I lived in Denver. I wouldn't have been remotely competitive, but I wouldn't have minded throwing in $15 per week to enjoy the atmosphere and play against good players. I remember how special it was at the Greeley...

Good job, Dave.

Is this really true or are you riffing on his incompleteness theorem?

What if personal jetpacks had been perfected and replaced cars in 1950?

I was waiting for 'by Henry Gibson'. LOL
