Hi, Kent. Great to see you posting on AzBilliards. This is the central clearinghouse for anything and everything that has to do with pool! :)

Keith is just fine. He's kind of turned into a poker player via the Internet as of late and loves it. Keith is strong and healthy, but has changed his eating and drinking habits to promote good health, which includes walking the dog daily. It's hell getting old, I tell you, and it seems the older we get, the more life becomes one big ball of deprivation, cutting back on red meat, trying to quit cigarettes, no excessive alcohol consumption, reducing caffeine intake, et cetera. :D

Hope you enjoy the Joss event at Turning Stone. It is, without a doubt, one of the finest venues in the world for pool. Keith and I have always been strong supporters of the Joss Tour, especially the non-Turning Stone events, meaning the regular Joss Tour stops. The new season's schedule for the Joss Tour is posted on the Main Page of this forum.

Here's the picture of you and Efren! :)

JAM

There has been a significant change in policy here at TS..
You are no longer allowed to bring in alcohol.
The TS is working with the State to try to get a license to sell alcohol.

Just wanted everyone to be aware of this change..

http://www.turningstone.com/info/alcohol.pdf

Personally, the significant change is a bonus in my opinion. I never did like the mixture of pool and alcohol. Coming from me, this may sound odd. :D

I think for some tournament goers and competitors, it will enhance the experience as well as the caliber of play! :)
