About 25 years ago, I used to shoot some pool. Always on the short bar tables, and never for more than $5, usually just for a beer. I was pretty good! Being female, I learned the art of distraction. 
Anyway, I have recently started hanging out in bars again. 
And I’m still good! Not great, but good enough to beat the average drunk guy. What great fun. Last night I went out and played about 10 games and only lost once, when I scratched on the 8-ball. I need to practice (a lot!), but hey— I only spent $2 to play pool for 3 hours.
This will be fun!
