No problem usually there are more but we have had some problems here. The pool room is located on a lower level so it's hard to get a signal. My buddy had his laptop w/ a wireless Sprint card and it is still lagging.

I hope you and your family had a great weekend. Tell Jina hi and we'll ttyl.

I was wondering what cue Earl is playing with since his departure from Cuetec? If anyone knows, please let me know.

I got up there just after Sam sent Earl packing. I asked a couple of friends and they said he was still shooting with the Cuetec.
From what I saw this afternoon, Larry, Nick, and Sparky were all hitting them great. I wouldn't be surprised to see any of them take it all. I just hate I had to leave before it was all over.

That would be her. The one and only- Knoxvilles finest. I must agree with you- she's my fav. also. She played pretty sporty this weekend. Her and Brad gambled all weekend - battling - and they are a good match up. Just flip a coin on who wins.
Oh and by the way the autograph will cost you!!!;)
