Varney: Not sure if it is the same guy... It was back in the 1990's. This guy owned a small, tough, two-table joint south of Laurinburg, NC... I would have been scared to go there, 'cept it was during the afternoon.
Ted: Straight pool is not my best game (but what really is? Haha!), but I would certainly enjoy ANY table time that can be had, regardless of what we play. I think I can hold my own as long as you don't rip me for too many 50+ ball runs...
Looks like I will be working at the Fluor offices (on Fluor Drive), east of the airport, less than a mile from Palace Billiards... I am not sure where my Hotel will be, but I suspect it will be close to Fluor.
