Shootin’ pool
Some people shoot guns, some people shoot for the stars! I shoot pool. It’s a great game, it relieves tension and I seem to be pretty good at it. Never thought I’d be as good as I am, but it just seems to come naturally to me. Some of my friends won’t shoot pool with me anymore because they can’t beat me, but they’re always bringing their friends over to challenge me!
When I moved from Maine two years ago, I left my pool table behind. It was just too difficult to move down here. I thought I’d never have another one, and my heart was broken. One day my wife and I were out shopping at a local thrift store (she’s always shopping at thrift stores) we had heard about. We were so surprised to find in a corner of the store, leaning against the wall, a disassembled slate pool table, with all the works! But of course, someone else’s name was already on it, it was reserved for that person to pick it up and buy it. We asked if we could be notified if that person did not come to get it, could we reserve it, and they said yes.
Much to our surprise, they called us two days later, said for us to come and get it! When we got there, there were three other names underneath ours! We weren’t long paying for it and getting it. They delivered it to our house the next day. I shoot pool as much as possible.
