the summer pool season is in full swing!

after my win on monday with my new team, i joined my tuesday team at paddy’s to take on the other paddy’s team.

i got there early and had a few with dympna behind the bar. of course, there was a bit of smack talking. ahem. it was good to hang with keith and rich for a bit as well…

we won the night 3-2!

chris (4) took out rick (5) in the first match. thank you to rick for forwarding the info about the “buffalo takes manhattan” party this weekend!

i played carol (4) and… won! woo! that makes 5 straight wins for me going back to the qualifier i won a few weeks back. there was a really interested scenerio in one of the games that is very difficult to describe in words. however, it involved me getting ball in hand, soft safety-ing and then carol trying an up and down shot giving me ball in hand. all with her on the 8 and it hanging on a corner. several times in a row. she eventually won that game… again, i played with more confidence. something that i was truly lacking last season.

stephen was playing dympna when i left. unfortunately, he lost. as he points out, he is, bizarrely, 0-3 against her, but it is never really a bad idea to lose to a bartender.

i am not sure who played fourth, but they lost…

jace (6) took down sui (6) in the last match…

it was great to see ye olde dog’s bollock’s during the night. the old team showed up at paddy’s for a bit of a reunion that ended up at bull’s head. twas cool to see them!
