Interesting how kids view pool. This is at my pool hall. He was playing pool online instead of on the table because it was easier to make balls online. lol.

Future
Darn. I opened this because I thought you were going to tell me what the future of pool is. Maybe you did-even worse. Where will we be 10-15 years from now? Will it be 5 guys sitting with their laptops at home playing a 9-ball ring game on the internet? Will there be any place to test hit cues and purchase pool tables, or will it be only 'big box retailers' and the internet, and will anybody even care? Maybe the Cohen brothers will remake 'The Hustler' (give me Robert Downey jr, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Fats) and cause a huge pool boom like what happened in poker. It doesn't seem like such a stretch if you're going to redo 'True Grit' and 'The Karate Kid'. Maybe the rise of professional pool in other places around the world will create tours that come to the U.S. and bring us along as well. Pool as a sport has been through several peaks and valleys so it's a reasonable bet that popularity among the general public will return.

This generation likes things easy. So maybe pool will make a comeback when we go to 6 foot tables and 10 inch pockets. Instead of bar leagues we will have Meth Leagues or Weed Leagues since drugs will be legalized.
Unless of course our country gets so bad we have an entire generation where people have to really struggle just to live. Then maybe they will struggle to learn a skill or play a game. Dont really know the options. We keep trying different things all the time trying to find out.

Cue&Cushion
Is this the room in Overland? I grew up in Normandy and played at Cue & Cushion on I believe woodson rd when it was first opened in an old grocery store by a guy named Lou, he sold the place not long after to a jeweler who used to play Minnesota Fats every Friday nite and get his pants cleaned. I can still hear Fatty round that table talking a mile a minute and shortly after running a rack of nineball yelling Racky Dacky.
We used to have some great games of golf on the snooker table.
Whew! that was hum! 50 years ago. I saw one of your tee shirts on a kid at Valley Forge do you have any in a size XXL?
