I'm confused and red faced, Pat.  Thank you very much for the compliment - and put a rush on that magazine, won't you?  Again my apologies for my tardiness.

Johnny boy, you've done it again.

This one would go in my magazine if I'd actually got my sh*t together and got it going.  It's a gold star story. :)pat

Thanks TAPS.  I am with you on my lack of bragging, I mean to say, when someone is as brilliant as me, why should I brag about it (he says modestly.)

You brag?  I don't believe it.  But, it does make for good blogging.  Loved the post.  LOL

Especially when it comes to the lonely part, Afzal.

Ah?  How things have changed.  In the billiard hall I frequent, the husband and wife owners allow no swearing, and as the lady of the house called to me once, "I can lip read, that'll cost you a dollar for the swear box."   When I was a youngster billiard halls were strictly men only. In the modern world, there appear to be more women than men playing pool.

You forgot the 'sould destroying' part, FoliageGold.  Clearing a table at billiards gives me the same satisfaction as writing the perfect paragraph - not that I have ever done either, you understand.

I agree with FoliageGold .

Pool halls frighten me, though.

I mean, why do they have to be so dark and seedy and full of menacing-looking figures chomping on cheap cigars?

Of course, I've never actually been to one, myself. However, I have seen a lot of movies.

The old pool shooter had won many a game in his life.
But now it was time to hang up the cue.
When he did, all the other cues came crashing to the floor.

Takes more than billiard balls to write.......It's long, it's arduous, it's solitary, but over the years when the craft is honed, you're ready to play.  Keep writing!
