It’s crazy how far technology has come. Jay your story reminds me of a night back in 1986 - a group of us got together at friend’s apartment for a fight that we all chipped for. We are all show up at staggered times grabbing liquid refreshments, talking trash - you know how it is.

Johnny doesn’t play much - he was a gifted player when he’s was young - busy teaching now.
Al Jr plays a little more when he’s with Little Al at Gardena Bowl.
