Underskirt therapy: Since the skirt is an experiment step 101.....A kilt would be more manly 
. Note to self, cut the ball gown down. 
It's serving as a dual therapy tool. The small motions of orientation of the skirt as I slide my hand under it.(time out for highschool flash back). Is just the physical therapy my left shoulder needs . It's also provide a mental distraction, plus the visual change

The Old Man flash this trigger a few. My favorite would be Portland Slim at the 211 in Seattle. We played $5 last pocket 8 ball. He was uh 80s I was 30s. He told stories as we played. He racked for Mosconi's exhibitions. Said he had seen him run a 100 when he was so drunk he had to hold the rails as he navigate around the table.
He would always jump in the lead, then my stamina would allow me to catch him. At which point I would pay the time and thank him. Best free lessons and he got his therapy work out. Win win
I knew I was getting old when..... (well other than the handcuffs back to front) getting dressed became a big part of my therapy.
My physical therapy is coming along, slow ly. My time in Sun City West taught me not to mention a malady or pain..... unless you are ready to be trumped. Their story will be bigger and better.
Anyway the feeling of making progress is the key for my mental therapy.
Stretch and flex is a big part of my morning workout. Finding the shoulder pain threshold to be gradually moving is rewarding.
The slow game is fun for me. Helps nail down the fine precision.
Note to self; Remember, a bar table is not a precision arena. Might be a chunk of pizza to deflect the perfectly struck shot. Hmmmm, Bar Box Banger could be a miss understand of the requirements.
The stance: The Horse of course . And the grip is Stradivarius.
. And the grip is Stradivarius.
My stance has me on the jousting horse and going in for impact.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug....Story time: Pigeon Dave. At the Seed 2 in Bellevue, we were assumed to be the easy money in the $10 / player 3 handed ring game. So the top 6 players on The East Side. I had just started playing lefty with undefeated success. All the players knew I was right handed. Oh yeah did I mention, Scotch Double s? We clipped the game at around $110@. Damnedest thing!
Dave was a Successful Card Player that had graduated from pool. He gambled with Shawn with the 8. I wanted the 7 from Shawn.(Of course I had just clipped Shawn +200 playing lefty). He was good with the other hand and I was better. So anyway the game came about at the having a beer table. Pidgion and I occupied spots 5 and 6 on the ratings chart.
It was a Friday night and far enough in that I had a disagreement with my wife. She had been a Mother image/advise to Pidgion. He had overheard a rude/juvenile remark I made. Probably an indicator of my alcohol content.
I missed, uh 2 balls. Both with the right hand. $110 was the depth of my pocket money at the time.
Blame the Pidgion we just adopted. He is learning to fly. On the back of the stool now. Yesterday his name was Wilbur. His first big hop

Another day older and deeper in debt. St Peter don't you call me cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store......
Jaden
Not sure what you are implying. You wanna play some?
I used to like it when my opponent was apparently doing cocaine. First it told me he felt like he needed help. Second when it was all said and done, he had snorted $100 to break even, playing$100 sets.

Ok the story;. Microwave Joe! I met
Where and when?
Ok now Microwave Joe, met up at a $5 tournament and hooked up for $100 on a tight pocket 8 foot table that a friend had at home. Well I was alerted when he asked for the small ball! I was hoping he was a big ball player, as that was the tournament he beat me in.
He won the first set easily and finished with the parking break engaged as $100 wasn't enough. So the second set I get the 8. Whew went down to the decider hill hill break and I managed to set up the one nine and made the combo with the cue ball stopping in the Jaws! Whew. Oh yeah he got his name of microwave from selling a brand new microwave out of the 211. It had massive food stuck to the interior!!!?

I broke even, Joe finished -100.
Wellness: the underskirt move is proving to be quite therapeutic for the impact shoulder. With the skirt on I must adjust the move from attention to stance. Bringing the bridge hand in with the stealth move to catch the skirt unruffled. The next thing she knows it's full mount. The precision I desire at the finish is required the whole way.
Anyway my therapy is showing progress with the physical. The forced removal of shoulder movement has given me the chance to hone the scalpel. The finger, uh ring finger finger finger.

She said, "that sounds porno". My reply, "not my intention...... but I like the way you are thinking."
My hope is that by observation of precision in each step of the dance, if (uh when) I don't give the ring finger his time. The ball will still go. Might use all the pocket. Whew, like dodging a bullet. Self t self, " you know what it was....so quit That! Over"
Evolution: In the beginning Ring finger was trigger. Ring finger is doing so well .....it got a promotion. Director is the new title. Trigger just comes across on the violence side. "I like violence because they smell so good "
. As spoken by Bullwinkle.

9 ball push out is one of my practice games.
Since I play self against fles I play shooters option, just like the ring game.
Make the shot is job one. Velocity is job 2, the rythem helps me coordinate the two. Guaranteed Survival require make ball. Shape too is sublime. Then recompose after perfect shape. I can get too full of self too soon and overlook a dance step. Just a small variation but..... I hate it when that happens.
