Helpless in Houston

Never would have dreamed it would be this hard to play decent again! 6 sessions in, ( about 30 hours ) and I feel like "TIN CUP", I'm short strokin, I'm Jumpin up, I'm jerkin, my wrist turns in instead of straight through, I can't even hit the CB in the right spot about 50% of the time, my stroke looks like a fn Charles Barkley golf swing!!

Good news is my glucose levels are down somewhat, my back pain has started to ease up a bit, my muscles are beginning to say it's ok to stretch this way again, I've lost about 7 pounds, and I've been hustled by everyone whos even driven by the poolroom!!

I'm feeling good about it all though, it's taken on a life of its on, this desire to "PLAY AGAIN ".

Stumbling in here at one pocket.org and visiting with some of my old friends and rivals has lit a small fire in me that I thought had burned out a very long time ago.

Don't know just yet whether it will become a raging forest fire or a dying ember in the days to follow, I just know that I'm gonna enjoy it either way!

Say Tom, my friend Rod usually plays everyday, he might dance with you.
I'm not trying to instigate anything here Tom, Rod, but I'd certainly like to meet you and I'd come watch you guys play for sure.

Whatta say Tom..... Rod?

Tom/Jim likes to play champs. He's probably looking for Sylver, but if he wants to play a hacker I'll be around.

If I didn't know you guys better I'd swear there was a lot of po-mouthin' goin' on.

I'd eat a whole flock of turkey buzzards to be able to play as well as either one of you poor, elderly, hackers.

Very funny John, sounds like you've been around awhile yourself, and you're not bad at it either, with that, "to be able to play as well" statement you made!!! Who's trying to rob this train anyway!

Seriously, I'm nowhere near ready yet, but Rod can defend himself quite well for an old codger, I'm sure he'd play Tompilot/Jim some if he was approached.

P.S. I'll go & watch and try to learn something.

Hi Rod, Sylver doesn't really play much anymore but I'm sure you speed is close to his

Is you number still 1175? I sent you a text asking where you play. Anyways, I'm not playing to well right now so I got into the amateur 9 ball at bogies over the weekend. I should be able to play you some 1P tomorrow or Wednesday
