Pool

I started playing pool when I was a kid- but had little idea what I was doing.

But in my 50’s, I took it up again with some wonderful instruction by some church friends.   I now enjoy playing 8-ball in a league.  We play in an APA (American Poolplayers Association) league and I have reached a skill level of 6 (though I have a lot to learn).  I once captained a team to first place- which was kind of fun!

I like pool because it is a game of skill (like bowling, golf, shooting guns, etc) but it has the added dimension of chess.  It is much more involved than I ever imagined.

My only problem is that when I play…. I look mean!
