With this kind of record, you and Zack can never be accused of stealing anything.
As road players go, you and Zack are just giving your money away.
You'd better start winning more dough or that insatiable beast will start demanding a pound of flesh.![]()
I haven't kept track but with tournaments and gambling Zack and Geno seem to be ahead of the road so far. I didn't include the lessons.

They had better stay ahead of the road or it will eat them alive.
In a month or two...I don't know. The most talented player I've ever personally been around picked up a cue for the first time at thirteen and six or seven months later was playing pro speed and went on to win five or six junior national titles. I would think if a person had that kind of talent AND the drive to do something with it one or two months might be possible...maybe.
That is a great point about eating right and exercising. Personally, I am my own worst adversary. I was a little overweight, ate like crap, smoked, slept very irregularly yet played decent for me. About 6 months ago I started eating better and cutting some of the garbage out and I am starting to feel a little better. Lost a little weight now I need to start exercising and get rid of some other "unnecesaries" to keep improving. The biggest advantage I can see of eating healthy, getting appropriate rest, and being in shape is that it helps the body handle stress so much better. I can see some of the positive effects so I am hoping continuing along that path will bring greater rewards. Good luck and keep at it.
Zack got up on a guy $400. Lost it back. He blamed it on too much sleep.
I think the real reason was he skipped our energy drink today. Red grapes, blueberries and real cranberry juice.
I forgot also. It also feeds the brain.
He'll figure it out. Eat well, sleep right and excercise.
And play, play and play some more.
I think Zack will play just fine tomorrow..
Where are you guys headed next?
Never had this happen before.
Zack has been sick with this cold stuff that makes you want to sleep forever. Zack gets pissed at himself and says he doesn't play good when he sleeps too long. I told him be happy you can sleep. Too much sleep is one excuse that just ain't right. You can never get enough sleep. it's what recharges your batteries of life.
Anyway, when the guy came to the room I told Zack you need a spot. He must really think he has a fish. His reply back was my backer sent me over.
I thought to myself, good comeback and probably an honest one.
This conversation is going on as I'm cooking eggs and toast for Zack in the bathroom.
This is a first for me. In all my years I have never had a player worried that I wasn't going to show up and come to the motel room to get me.
The only thing that I'm worried about is that Zack is still sick. He thinks he isn't but the sleep tells me different. i had this cold/virus thing for 3 weeks and everyone I talked to had it for 3 weeks. It kind of lulls after about a week but is still there. then you get real sick again and it lasts for 2 more weeks.
Today i'll find out how tough Zack is. I know he's still sick.
i think Zack wins. I'm betting on it.
Another day, another adventure.
They had a 10 ball tourny tonight. Hopefully I'll win that. Another $100.
I'll also pass out fliers and round up a lesson or 2.
I feel great. I got 9 hours of sleep and got excercise 2 days in a row. I'm ready to rock and roll.
This old man is going to beat someone today also. If i get played.
The players here are a little reluctant to play me. They know if the right Gene shows up it will not be a pic a nik. Like Yogi Bear used to say when he was looking for a pic a nik basket.
2 men a van and the road. It don't get any better than this......
