Happy Thanksgiving all. I got some good pool in today at the house -
including another break and run and another almost break and run except for
the 8 which I could almost but not quite see when I got to it. I was
hitting them pretty well. We had a house full of family and friends and no
one came close to beating me.

Hee, hee, hee. Very nice, congratulations!
Now THAT'S pressure - playing well when you don't need to but you
really WANT to.
As a kid I fondly remember loving to visit my uncle's house for the
holidays because he had a pool table in the basement. I'm sure I
never won a game!

A little while back, we invited the son of a neighbor over for dinner
because his parents had to go out and he was at a loose end. After
dinner, he suggested we play some pool because he could see the
poolroom from the living room. He seemed awfully keen to play and
admitted he loved to play 8-ball. Great.
We tossed to see who would break. I called 'heads' and it was. I broke
and ran the first game.
My wife pulled me aside - and punched me savagely on the arm... "He's
a priest!" she hissed into my ear...
I still don't know what rule of etiquette I broke, but I let him have
a few shots after that. He played pretty good for a man of the cloth
but still only won one game all night.
Am I going to Hell, d'ya think?

may save you is regaling us with a story about redemption. Or maybe a
priest who uses his collar as a shark. Perhaps a hustling nun. LOL
Beating up on a priest. Man that's bad. I wonder if it's worse to
beat up on a priest or a nun.

I think there's story in "Hamster Tales" about a pool playing
preacher, but I've mislaid the original text.
How about a prayer instead...?
The Hustler's Prayer - David E. Malone - May 4, 2006
I humbly beg the gods of pool
To help me live the Golden Rule.
And do to others constantly...
Before they do the same to me.
Let one-piece cues be straight to roll
And cubes of chalk not have a hole.
Make each new shot a fluid stroke
And guide my arm if I am broke.
And please supply an endless list
Of amateurs who still insist
That playing yet another rack
Will let them win their money back.
Give me the strength to walk away
And save it for another day.
Give me the nerve to see it through
When only running out will do.
And let each sleazy hall's decor
Boast open exits by the score.
And when I need to get out quick
I pray the window doesn't stick.
If I should lose, I pray the bums
Won't get upset and break my thumbs.
All of this I hope and pray
To ease my struggles every day.
And last, dear gods, please help me see
If anybody's hustling... me.

Those were the good old days when I used my lunch break to write short
stories and doggerel.
Now, I usually don't get time to eat - let alone write...

Sounds about right... would you believe I can't recall exactly what
was in the book nowadays?
Senility may be setting in, Becky.

I did... back in October, of course. Hope yours was wonderful too...

But... but... she does it so much better than I do. I can't quite
differentiate between 'charred' and 'done'... while she somehow
manages to arrest the process before the former happens. Must be a
knack.
(I think she secretly keeps an eye on the grill... a real man would
never do that.)
