Morning. Never stopped working here...girlfriend either. Although she would have made just as much if not slightly more had she been laid off - that's the sad/stupid part of the "stimulus" and unemployment boost.

Afternoon all! Cool cloudy day today. Going to try to get my hair cut today. Going on 11 weeks hopefully the barbershop is back open.

Billiards and poker...on the professional circuits? How long ago?
not the big leagues . early 1970's several local houses . Two raided by police - one i hadn't got there yet - another over my limit . One in country had signal bell hose hidden on road to building ---standing at door one day as police showed up . Once i headed out the door -others screamed for me to stop = electric fence ahead in woods . Last group i played with we went to Biloxi Miss . -- some went regular . I have played in Vegas . If i was to play today some would be grandsons of group i played with 1970's . Played pool with pill jug --- draw two = one when you shot -other your ball -- You learned to make on the break or if yours fell you got paid . Had eight players many times --- made money not having to shoot . Wild things you do when Vietnam war going and 1A for draft . I won two tournaments playing foosball also 1970's ---- just disassembled my table recent .

Wow, Barry...I enjoy stories like that. Yes, you should write a book! :)
I especially like the bell hose on the country road = brilliant!
