Confirmation!
David "The Hamster" Malone
I imagine he's back in Indonesia by now. Some of you might recall our
discussion on the subject of the Guinness World Cup of Pool where he
mentioned that Mika Immonen thought Dean's pool game sucked and I
agreed with him?
At our park trailer where we got together, Dean presented us with very
natty 'official' shirts from the GWCOP and then said, "Mika said to
give you this..."
"This" turned out to be a hand-written note as follows...
"To Ortelia and David Malone.
From one World Champion to another...
DEAN SUCKS! "
And it was signed by Mika Immonen. Sounds like Mika has a great sense
of homour as well as Dean.
By the way, Dean didn't suck very badly (beat up on me...) and, as I
suspected, the lovely Eva is getting to be a terrific pool player. I
really think she could be a pro one day if she sticks at it...

I don't know if Mike stops by here anymore. I know he visits and is
active on azbilliards.
PatH...still means to pay him a visit at his room in Fargo N.D. just
not during the winter (snow/cold) or spring(floods) or summer
(tornadoes)

He's a great guy. I met him at one of the Jimbo-Jambo's in Connecticut
a few years back. I think he was the only attendee that traveled even
further than we did to get there.

So obviously you're going this Fall? The pictures of Mike's room are
amazing - I'd like to visit it myself one of these days... when I
retire...

Murray. Both are very nice... but, Fargo? Really? That's almost as bad
as Toronto. LOL >>jking<< (sort of)
Speaking of Toronto; Dave, I'll probably be up that way sometime in the
near future to visit Heather. Would love to visit with you and your
beautiful wife while I'm there.

Keep us informed of your schedule, Becky... Ortelia spends a lot of
her time up at the trailer (because it's on a golf course and she's a
wannabe golfer), but we are flexible. FWIW, we have a pool room at
home and a BBQ... :-)

table.<G> BBQ might not be as much of a logistics problem.
PatH...keeps his table dirty with chalk so the wife doesn't put clean
clothes on it

Lol... good memory, Pat.

My wife puts the Naugahyde cover on it first...

Will do, Dave... thanks! I'd love to come over to shoot pool and have you
cook for me. Well, maybe I'd love to have Ortelia cook for me. Or, I
could buy you two dinner.
How far away is the trailer? I'm a wannabe golfer, too. I play golf
about as badly as I shoot pool, but that hasn't stopped me from doing
either one.
Hope to see you soon.

Ortelia loves to cook... and she's pretty damn good at it, so she
won't let you near her kitchen. Trust me, you do NOT want me to cook
for you...

It's about 45 minutes drive from Scarborough - actually we'd love to
have you at the trailer and play golf. Ortelia's just in the learning
stages, so it might be a bit frustrating for you if you're a good
golfer (and play golf as well as you shoot pool). I'm a lousy golfer
myself because I haven't played much. Does Jim play golf as well - we
could have a foursome...?

Let us know when... then we can talk.

I've heard of her talents and magic in the kitchen!

LOL... I really suck at golf, so I think Ortelia would probably get
frustrated with me. I hate it that I'm always chasing balls or losing
them in water, but I putt fairly well once I finally get that white thing
that far. LOL
My Dad golfs, my oldest son golfs, my middle son is a scratch golfer and
is going to "golf school,' my brother has a one digit handicap and my
son-in-law in the golf pro at the Country Club of Mount Dora. Then, there
is Jim and me. I think the closest Jim has come to playing is being a
caddie when he was a teenager, and I don't even keep score because it's
too embarrassing.
> Let us know when... then we can talk.
Soon as I know for sure. Thanks!
