Man o Man am i glad to be home !! I had two brutal flights to get out to Washington State and once I got there I had a disappointing 9th place finish, Uck, double uck.
O.K. enough whining now to the joy. First let me tell you about the venue. The Parlor Billiards and Spirits. Wow if this place hasn't been written up on that list of the top spots in the country that B.D. puts out then somebody isn't doing their job. Check out the link and see what I mean. Grand is putting it lightly. The Gold Crown Four's were in perfect condition and all the gals from the N.W.P.A. were even nicer than the tables. I really did have a great time but that isn't the joy I'm talking about. When I got home after two more brutal flights and a snow storm in Denver, ( OK a little more whining :)the love of my life caught me up on the pool scene. Bruce told me that Martha Hartsfeild had won the B.C.A. qualifier that I had hoped to win and I was thrilled to hear that she was the one to get it. Martha is a "journey girl" and will represent us well in Vegas. Way to go Louise ( inside joke) !!! Then the second joyous news was that Morgan Steinman, another great gal won the Valley Forge Championship. Way to go "old" chap. Another inside joke, relatively speaking she's just a baby. By the time I got home I was feeling a little better about my trip, proving once again a joyed shared is doubled. I'm going to play on the local regional tour here in Florida this weekend and try again to win a spot in Vegas. Wish me luck.
