Puppy Love!

After the recent passing of my beloved 14 year old dog, Darth, coming home has been such a sad affair.  No more wagging tail, no more head nudge (rub my ears, please), no more 80 lb. dog trying to squeeze himself into my 110 lb. lap.

It has been 2 lonely weeks, but tomorrow I will be picking up Tucker!  He was rescued from a kill shelter in Delaware and put into a foster home about 3 weeks ago.  He's a gorgeous lab/pit mix with one brown eye and one blue, and although I've only seen him in pictures I'm already in love!

4th of July

This weekend I had an exhibition in Temecula, CA at the Leisure Living Superstore.  On the way out I ended up missing my 7am flight (don't ask), but I figured...standby to southern California, no problem!  7 standby flights and 13 HOURS later I managed to get on the last flight of the night because 1 person didn't show.  Lesson learned...don't miss your flight on a holiday weekend.

I was there representing my sponsor, Olhausen Billiards, and they gave away a pool table.  It was a great time and everyone from the store was awesome.  I extended my stay an extra day and ended up going to the beach and cruising around Temecula Wine country with the girls from the store.

Random thoughts:

I try to fly JetBlue because of the whole TV thing, but I always seem to end up watching shows about air disasters.  I saw a great one on midair collisions on the way out.

I saw Heidi Fleiss getting ice cream during my 13 hour stay in the Jetblue terminal.

I really need to get back in the gym.

Hello!

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to the WPBA weblogs, and I hope you enjoy these glimpses into the lives of professional pool players!  Most of us just returned from Hollywood, FL where we played in the Cuetec Cues Southeast Classic.  I had a great tournament and ended up finishing 7/8th.  In the weeks preceding this event I started a new practice routine and I could feel and see the difference in the way I played. 

If any of you are in the San Diego area over the 4th of July weekend, please stop in and see me at Leisure Living Superstore in Temecula, CA.  I will be doing an exhibition there for Olhausen Billiards on July 2nd so stop by and say hello.  Challenge me to a game of pool and I'll sign a headshot for you!
