I would like to thank all of the officials, volunteers and players of the WPBA Tour for providing this old man with great pool, great people, super friends ( except for one) and venues that are enjoyable to "sweat" the matches for the ladies I call my "sweat-hogs", ala John Travolta; that term is a compliment.
Some of these ladies have become very dear friends and we have shared much time together outside of the tournaments:
Jeanette yells at me but consider her my best friend; after Cheyenne
Anna lets me be her grandfather but won't let me break harder than her
Allison reminds me I am "doomed";we share the same birthday; different years
Kristi provides additional work assignments to keep me busy
Monica sponges gum from me to feed her habits; 1. likes gum 2. is cheap
Sarah R. dodges paying the judgement I have on her from injuring me
Helena doesn't like me to sweat her matches; I must be 2 tables away
Melissa H. accepted my apology when my fart machine went off accidently
Karen C. is a doll and quite a talent and young lady
Julie has apologized to me every time she knocked me down going for a smoke
Sarah E. has been very friendly and interesting to talk to; same birthday as
Kim W. said she wasn't a snob but wouldn't talk because of my "fame"?ok now
Tina was very, very nice and then quit competing
Jenn has accepted a dancing challenge by me with JL; Guru with Jenn & JL!
Miyuki now talks to me after learning I was a pedestrian, not a pedophile
Jennifer C. knows I am a pedophile not a pedestrian
Mark W., St. Louis Cardinal fan knows I hung Cub bb cards in his poolroom
Steve determined I was not the asshole he may have originally thought
Peg tolerated me as I would inadvertently annoy her at the tourneys
Laura very friendly to me always after I drove her to the venue
Ga Young beat me in a 9 ball race to 2 in 3 minutes with no shot 4 me
Kelly F. just beat the hell out of me with that Irish smile
Mitch has still never talked to me; maybe he saw me stalk the Viking?
Liz is a class act and rising star
Dawn was recluse until I told her she looks better now than on ESPN classic
Jasmin only talked a little to me but has an awesome personality & talent
Gerda allowed me to practice my German while she taught me pool
Vivian seldom talks to me but is always friendly when she does
Kim S. is sure I am a pedophile, very quite; bet she has a clean house
Megan has the best strut/stride on the Guru list; beat me in 14.1
Alice has always been a great person to me after I fed her; thanks Alice
Ewa, Ewa? she has been friendly but tough. Refused to autograph my copy of
"Pool for Dummies" as she said I could not comprehend; bought 2 of
them and suddenly I was smart enough. My Ewa goal for 2008 is
dinner with Ewa before Mitch gets to the Venue.
Thanks to all as I complete my 4th year on tour; expect to make them all this year and go undefeated in the pro-am challenges for charity.
