Martin, I'm glad to hear you got all of the things that you wanted from the U.S. Open this year. I remember signing the cue-ball for The Cardman. He seemed like a real nice guy and looked like he was having fun. Good luck in the new pool room. I've never been to Scotland, but I'm part...

I'm trying to remember who all played in that ring game, but I was so caught up at that time in the other games. I think Lisciotti might have been in it, but I know Pittsburgh John was. You know he had no quit in him and stayed for the long haul. It did come down to me and Bob Ogburn when it...

The Skins is a fun tournament. I didn't realize how much pressure there was going to be in that kind of a format, but I tried to make it exciting for myself to take away some of the pressure. That shot clock didn't help matters any either, especially under a couple of those stress...

Sorry I'm getting back to you so late after the Open, but I do appreciate your support. Hopefully, next year I can make it farther than I did this year. One of these days, I'm going to get 'em. Keith

Thanks, John. To tell you the truth, I wish they wouldn't have put me on the TV table. The tables out there in the other area were a lot tougher, and I knew that. I know if I would have had my opponent on those tougher boxes, I think I would have beat him because I was playing good enough to...

Southdakotakid, the name sounds familiar, but I just can't picture her at the moment. When I see you at the Open, you can refresh my mind. See you then! :)

Celtic, to be very honest with you, my game went down when they changed the rules from two-shot/roll-out to one-foul/ball-in-hand. Nobody had those jump cues either. Now when you play a perfect safety, it ain't worth 10 cents on a dollar. If a guy misses the ball straight in, tickees off two...

Hey, what's going on, Bubba? I know they don't have any dice tables, but they're not very far away! :D After you left, me and Boris from Rochester took a stab. I was lit up like a Christmas tree again, and you know what happened! :cool: I will be there this weekend, and we'll see what we...

Jerry, I plan to make it out there real soon. There is a lot of tournaments coming up out here. I'm getting ready to play in the U.S. Open right now. I am going to try to practice this next week, and hopefully, I'll have my "A" game with me this year. :)

To BCn, thanks for the link. I remember that match, and there were a couple of mistakes early in the game that I made. I can't take it away from Ryan. He played well, and it seems like I never showed up. This was the first TV table match of the Open last year on the first day. I thought I...

Jody B, I don't have Weldon's number offhand. He was over there in Knoxville, but from what I understand, he went to Florida somewhere. I don't know where. I can maybe get a hold of somebody and find out where he's at. If I do, I'll e-mail you.

Good to hear Scotty is okay. I've been trying to track down a few friends of mine that do live over there in that area, Biloxi as well as New Orleans. Sure would like to know how to get a hold of them, the ones that I am looking for, Berle G., Big Sue, Dottie and a few others. I'd sort of...

Joey, let's not continue this nonsense. Okay? I'm trying to prepare myself to play in the U.S. Open right now, and I need to be a little positive about what I'm trying to accomplish. I don't need this aggrevation. So please do me a FAVOR and let's move on.

Greg, you're sure right about the cardboard box. I finally got a good laugh today when I read your post. :D I will be playing on the Joss Tour this coming season. I think there's a good Joss tournament coming up September 10-11 at Drexeline Billiards, and I'm hoping to be there. I like that...

Matt, I think I was playing with a Schon at the time me and Earl were battling it out at the '88 Brunswick Open. That really was a nail-biter. I've always had a hard time beating Earl, especially in that era. He was a very dominating player then, and the only way you could beat him was to...

Beast, I hope to make it up to California way pretty soon. I sort of miss all of the tournaments out there and the good times. I still keep up with Santa Anita and Hollywood Park, Bay Meadows and Golden Gate, and let's not forget the jiggie-jogs at Meadowlands. I'll let you know when I'm...

When you first wake up and start hitting balls, sometimes your timing could be a little bit off. So what it revolves around is adjusting your feels and getting your grips correct for every shot -- your top rights, your middle rights, your low rights, your inside lefts, your cue-tip lefts, et...

John, I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday. I'm going to miss you at the Open this year, but there's always next year. Take good care of you wife. Good women are hard to come by. Your friend, Keith

Joey, I like a good competition, but when I see that side ball flying in the same pocket every single game in a "rack your own," I am going to question the rack after so many games. It's not just you. I would question anyone, and I think you would, too. If I was quiet as a church mouse and...

It sure is hot down here in Maryland. With the heat index up as high as 120, it makes it hard to do anything. I sort of like that nice air-conditioner blowing on me. As far as somebody standing like me, I've been told by the old-time campaigners that the only one that had a stroke like mine...
