Hi people!
Long time no see......but today I have something to brag about.
Yesterday I made 100 ball run in straight pool! It is only second time in my pool career I ran hundred so it is very special for me. Missed 101st ball due to tears in my eyes... Just wanted you to know... ;\)

Hi Rich!
Its always good feeling to have someone like you in my corner. And as of dreams....about 10 years ago I read a book named Alchemyst by Paul Coelho which turned my view of life completely around. The main idea of the book was that dreams are to be lived and thats what I try to do. \:\) And the fate favours those who seek their dream. Pick up the book, you will enjoy it Rich. \:\)

If I ever run 100 balls it won't be my eyes tearing up that will prevent me from pocketing # 101. I'll have lost control of some other bodily function.....
soon as I get my visa though I'm heading over to to Czechoslovakia.
I hear the pocket openings are huge...

Hi wolfie!
FYI there is no longer Czechoslovakia, there are two states since 1993: Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, it was peaceful split-up. And you wont need a visa to get here, we are in european union and us citizens dont need any visa to travel to EU. \:\) And the pocket openings must be really huge because I made 110 ball run just yesterday after only 5 hours sleep.... \:D

I don't have hi speed internet, so we are a little slow getting the news here. I didn't know it had split, but I seem to remember something about two factions there that did not get along, etc....seems they have worked things out....and without my help.
Another 100+ ball run....that's awesome...proves the other one was no fluke....looks like Ill need even more of a spot then the 5 out, and maybe 2 to 1 on the $$.
Your next goal....200!!!...and you can do it...its' just a back to back 100 ball run. I'd do it myself, if I had the time....lol
Nice going, again !!!!jd

Hi wolfie!
You remember it quite right, two factions that didnt get along...sigh...
as of 200 ball run goal - thats quite a LONG shot right now dont you think??? \:D on the other hand I experienced a great feeling of rythm when I made those runs, strangely enough when I replayed that 110 ball run in my mind I felt deep in my heart that I am capable of making MUCH longer run, its just a matter of concentration. the think is I dont want just run high numbers on occasion, I want those numbers on regular basis and thats a lot of work to do. Good thing is that I wasnt nervous too much on that second 100, in fact I was able to enjoy the moment. \:\) Hopefully I wont struggle for another 100 too long..
