Seven More Days

Seven more days...until I get back to the country I love, the USA. I've been away from home, friends, and family for three months now. I've never felt such longing for my friends, and the pool tables I know and love. I'm sure these seven days are going to creep by, but I'm so close now I can taste it! Now if only I didn't have to spend 19 hours in airports and cramped airplane seats to get home! Ugh...

I've been playing around Israel as much as I can, but to be honest, it's pretty hard to find a nice table around here. I miss our 5x10 snooker table with 2.25" balls, the one that can make any good player miss many shots. When I get back, I think I'm going to hold a one-year anniversary snooker tournament on our table, to commemorate all the hard work we put into building that thing last summer (and lifting 1500 pounds of slate!).

Chime in if you have known that feeling of months away from home...and the joy you felt upon returning to you family, friends, and pool table!
 
For me it's close two years from my latest visit in my home country, so i think i have a slight idea about what you're saying. Have a nice trip back home and have a party with friends and loved ones when being there.

"Slight"...LOL. Eek, I feel a bit better now. Although I'm sure you're probably enjoying Belgium, I hear it's a great place!
 
You're right, i have no reasons to complain. It's just life and currently this is the way it goes. My last visit in my homecountry was my grand mothers funeral, so not that happy visit, but maybe later this year i'll make it there again.
 
Ssssscccchhhhhhwwweeeeettt

Woohoo! I'm finally home!

Me and my buddies should have some new pool video clips created and added to my YouTube account within a few days!!! We've been recording stuff this week with a camcorder, while the pool stuff currently on my YouTube account was all done with a crappy cameraphone.

So far this week we've filmed matches of 9-ball, 14.1 continuous, snooker, honolulu, bank pool, and some various trick/skill shots. Hopefully after I post the videos, you guys will understand why we miss apparently easy shots, when we play with 2.25" balls on a 10-foot snooker table. Talk about tight!
 
juanbond, i'm glad to hear that you made your way back home. I'm glad even more to hear that you're having good time in there.

Have a nice time now when you're returned to the US.
