Phred68 - On the same topic of "pool"...have you been to City Billiards in downtown Mpls? We went there not too long ago with some friends and it was really fun.
Tim's family had a pool table while he was growing up so he is pretty good....me on the other hand...I usually just smack the ball as hard as I can and then the white ball usually just follows anything I hit in into the pocket.
