When you live in any Seniors-oriented community you're continually amused and entertained by the (mostly men) straight facedly-told accounts that all listeners know amount to: "The older I get . . . the better I used to be." Arnaldo ~ Whether the subject is sports ability, prowess with the...

There's the essence of what can happen on hyper-long 14.1 runs -- a milli-seconds-long split of concentration on a previous move and the necessary subconscious flow for the present one. His physical and mental endurance is world-class, but as with some other precision-dependent sports or game...

Check out any fraternal orgs like Elks, Moose, VFW, etc. within a 30-minute drive from you and might likely have 8- and/or 9-footers in their billiards facility. I joined all three when I moved into a veeeery rural area of Vermont (which then-had only two poolrooms in the entire state -- all...

Here's an excellent article on that very subject, Glen: https://www.ncoa.org/article/staying-fit-with-age-related-pain-top-5-tips-for-older-adults/ Arnaldo~ Works for me, along with the high-tech, scientifically-designed protein-vitamin-mineral powder I've taken for years twice a day (to which...

Bump for attn of understandably extremely busy with Holiday orders, Mike Howerton Arnaldo

Archer-Hall match at the 1991 US Open 9-ball Mike: This (title above) is a semi-final match that was recorded on location and then network-broadcast within a series of three from those finals, over consecutive weeks . . . a month or so after the tournament ended. I'm hoping you can find and...

Remarkably, the style (and intent) of this gifted sports writer is pool's dazzling equivalent of French Impressionism wherein a skilled landscape painter truthfully, beautifully, and purposefully captured not photo-realistic depictions of a scene in Nature, but essential and moving truths about...

For your holiday season idle time reading, here's my tiny evergreen annual gift to AZB-ers, an exceptional 9-page article that will be new to some AZBers and a very enjoyable re-read for many others. It's from a 1970 Playboy about the famous Johnston City "Hustlers Jamboree" excitingly and...

BD -- That was also one of the identical key events in the 1987 "Color of Money" that unmistakably established for Fast Eddie j(Paul Newman) just how much times (and he) have changed. Arnaldo ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I stand by Jean saying it on multiple occasions. Whether LS liked it and went on to use it herself would be another matter which would trigger alternate citations of the source of it, as word of Jean's perfect -- and not atypically confrontational -- rejoinder spread widely throughout pool...

Jean Balukas (for newbies, one of the all-time greatest women players/unbeatable gamblers) got hit with that cutesy move by hundreds of first-time women opponents (who never did it a second time). Many us dedicated fans-of-Jean heard her knock those foolish gals flat and shaking in their...

Thx. Nice to be remembered. Just read somewhere that we're about one-percent of the population, which figures out to be about three and 1/2 million of us and diminishing annually. Arnaldo ~ US Army sergeant (infantry/ordnance), Korean War era...

Her eloquence, pool-savvy, life wisdom -- and always-positive & factual insider reporting and commentary have illuminated and entertained AZB newbies and long timers for two decades (since October 17, 2004). You go girl, for many more years. Arnaldo ~ A major fan of excellent writing and...

Indulge me while I chuckle as remind my elderly self only slightly off-topic: No one has ever seen the words "Mosconi" and "fluke" in the same sentence. Arnaldo ~ Dammit . . . I just did exactly that in a sentence. Never mind...
