Better Living Through Billiards

My youngest managed to fit time for billiards practice in the UNM Student Union into his campus visit yesterday while waiting for his academic interviews and departmental tours. Alas, he forgot to take his own cue. It would have been an easy carry-on.

My dad enjoyed hearing about his grandson's trip to Albuquerque, and also about the senior high school billiards club's adventures. Looks like Steverooni may get to travel to a tournament in Michigan next summer since he's the high scorer on the newly-formed team. Yes, Minnesota Fats and Texas Slim battling it out in Michigan...


While the Friday Lunch Gang was here this noon for roast beef sandwiches and tomato soup he got a call from a reporter for the school newspaper. Since half of the Mens and Ladies billiards teams, including the founders, were sitting around my dining table there was a lot of raucous "helping" with the interview. Most of the quotes won't be printable! As Howie says, it's all in the angle of incidence. I'm glad his grandson got that gene, since it definitely skipped me. The closest I get to a Billiards Room is with Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe.
