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!

If I’m ever in Houston, I’ll watch out for you, or at least make sure you agree to go double-or-nothing in Darts! 😃

Ooooh…I love pool! My ex taught me how to play, and I’m pretty good. My husband and I only go a couple times a year now, and we’re supposed to go with our brother-in-law in a couple weeks. It’s one of my favorite ways to relax!
