I think I finally did it. I am the pool champ of my little town. It's not like we had a tourney to determine this. The locals simply concede that I am the best. Not that this is anything to brag about. It's like saying that I'm the best surfer in Laramie, WY.
In this town, the last thing on anyones mind is pool. My town has multi-million dollar homes all over the place (mine isn't one of them... come to think of it, I also take the crown as the poorest person in town). Water sports are big here. We only have a few bars with pool tables in them. So my competition was sparse to begin with.
I was just thinking of all the years I've played the game, I've never been a city champ, even though I've lived in some pretty small towns throughout California. There was always at least one guy who was my nemesis. At one time I couldn't even lay claim to being the best in my household since I was rooming with a couple of other players.
A friend of mine made me laugh when he said that he figured out that he was the best in his zip code (5 digit). What about you? Are you the best on your block? city? state? other?
BTW, Efren, we won't need to hear from you.
