On The Road Again with Perfect Aim....

Starting January 1, the new Obamacare health insurance law goes into effect. You can no longer be denied medical insurance due to pre-existing conditions. If you haven't already done so, I hope you'll sign up for health insurance.

You need to go back home for awhile and get yourself in order.
It's not going to get any easier or better with what you're putting yourself through right now.

I am home...........
This is my home.
Home, home is on the road..............
This is my job and this is what i do..
I enjoy it and will keep doing it until they pry my cue stick from my hand.....
It's been a great ride and still is.
Still can't hardly wait to get to the pool hall.
Today i teach a young lady that is legally blind. She can see some and already had some amazing results with the limited amount I have shown here.
When working with someone brings tears to my eyes a little here and there I can't think of anything I else i would rather do.
This young lady has more courage than all the pool players i know put together. She's upbeat and energetic and just wants to play good pool.
Can't imagine not being able to see.
Most of us don't have any problems compared to the daily trials she must have to face every single day of her life.
Most of us couldn't get a big enough spot to play even if the game was having true heart.
I'm a lucky man to even be working with this young lady and it's a true honor.
Got to get going. Don't want to be late..

Are you gonna charge the blind girl the $200?
He is charging her husband for his lesson only not the woman for hers.
I met her at Break Away doing mini lessons.........
I decided then I would work with this young lady. She doesn't have the funds to pay for lessons. I don't know her financial situation but i assume it's hard to hold a real high dollar job being almost legally blind.
I worked with her boyfriend, Andy this afternoon and was hoping to work with Barbara also but she had to work.
I'm going over to Breakaway right now to work with her son. She asked me to. he;s 18. Andy will be able to help her with some parts and the son after I'm gone.
I do many free lessons out here. I just need to do enough paying lessons to keep my head above water. And sometimes it's tough.
We changed her lesson until tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to it.

Met up with Lee brett tonight.........
I went over to help Barbara's son with a mini lesson and he decided to come tomorrow for the full lesson with his mother. These 2 are playing on the same team and pool is something they can all share together.
While there I saw Lee Brett hitting some balls. Went over and said hi. Sounds like he will be pretty busy with all the leagues at Break away Billiards.
As i was waiting for Barbara's son to finish his league i worked with a guy named Edward that was around all week but never took advantage of the mini lesson. he did tonight and as usual had big trouble cutting the way of his non dominant eye.
I need to call him tomorrow to set up a time. He plays at a higher level and couldn't hardly believe how tough cutting one way was compared to the other.
Other than that i played some sets with Rhea for practice.
Overall a pretty quiet day.
Was pretty tired again today so i know I had more siezures last night. Got an appointment with a nuerologist Thursday at 3:00. They seemed to be surprised that the doctor the night before didn't give me anything to take for the siezures.
I don't think the ER doc thought that my siezures were really that. I told him that it was pretty clear to Rhea what it was.
I'll find out what the score is on Thursday i hope. This is why I've been so tired. this has been going on for about 7 months ever since the accident. I know because the mattress looks like it is going to fall off the bed on some mornings. I thought it might just be from turning over so much, so much for thinking.
Going to bed now and see if I can break dance with the devil........

If you or Rhea has a smart phone, she could film your seizures for the physician's inspection.

That's a good idea
When you play Rhea , how do you play and what was the outcome, if i may ask?
Right on Joey, and that is the best thing to do before seeing a doctor. Also there are times that the reason doesn't show up. In that case they write a script for anti-convultion meds. Good thinking JoeyA. Johnnyt
Rhea is probably awake right now reading the forum's latest and can have this ready for when Gene starts the Elvis Presley impersonations.

More like Jerry Lee lewis................
Rhea told me it was more like the SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I dont think its funny.
You need to get checked out.
We have lost too many players this year, and I wouldnt want you be one of them. Quit screwing around and get checked out.
Freakin pool players are worse than kids..........

Perhaps; "Sleep apnea???"
Billy Gibbs here, so sorry to hear your dealing with a new health issue (when we met at Barry's poolroom, it was your teeth and the "Caps issue"). I've been meaning to get on this thread and thank you for your insight about approaching the table with your "GODS eye" in command.
I don't think our mutual friend Chris Renfro, mentioned this to you, but, I had a debilitating stroke 7 years ago that left me paralyzed on my right side. As a result, everything thing changed in my routines around the table. Now, when I was able to start hitting balls again, I developed some lazy habits. One such habit was not looking at each shot from behind, away from the table.
The interesting part? I played golf and had always envisioned each shot from behind the ball in my pre-shot routine on the golf course. So, when I began playing pool I already new the value of addressing each individual shot from a "set position." However, 30 some years later, after the stroke, I did everything a bit different and had lost that conscious effort in addressing each shot from the viewpoint of my dominant eye. Now when you pointed out that I was crossing my dominant eyes sight line bending down to get on the shot, and how that was "crossing hemisphere's in my brain" with my eye's switching focus, I realized a couple of days later that you had pointed out a very important flaw in keeping my dominant eye in conscience control.
Back at the poolroom, after practicing my approach to the table, with my focus on looking at the shot from 3 ft. away behind the shot line, using my dominant eye, I'm so-------much more solid in my shot execution!!!
So, thanks for that tid bit of wisdom, and keep on putting "the perfect aim theology" out there for those willing to think it through! Thanks again, I really enjoyed meeting and talking with you and Rhea! For my money, you work the room in a very positive manner! [I.M.H.O.(Your kind of showmanship is good for this sport)]!
All the best, and I hope you get a reprieve from all LIFE"S recent negativity!!!:thumbup:
