I am gearing up for a extended, long weekend visit with some friends that I have known now for nearly 30 years. We gather together each year, from whereever we live, to reconnect, and play the Pool Championship of the World (or, our little world). Yesterday, at our neighborhood community swimming pool, I touched a cue and table for the first time in almost a year. My son is getting better, but not good enough yet to beat the old man!
Peace (in the pocket),
Kevin
PS — my tag, In the Pocket, reminded me of an old song of mine from my band, Big Daddy Kiljoy.
Sounds like a fun tradition!
Friends and friendly competition…I hate to break it to you, but some day your son will beat you at pool!
Loved the fleeting moment this captures. Enjoy some of what may be your last moments beating your son at pool!
Fun times! And thanks for the added bonus.
Kevin, Pool Pool – neat idea and your music is an upbeat piece to accompany your text. I always love hearing how you connect music with life and writing.
Stay in that pocket my friend. Enjoy!!!!
We all await the news of the tournament. I will have to circle back to hear the track as I am at the airport without earbuds.
Hoping you frequently hit the pocket playing pool at the pool (thanks for the great tune too!)
