The Super Billiards Expo ended last Sunday and Mike & I stayed a couple extra days to do the whole liberty bell thing; an actual non-pool related vacation. Of course, I wake up Monday morning with a sore throat and was pretty miserable up until we left town Wednesday afternoon. Ugh…
Overall, I would rate this year’s Valley Forge as my favorite of the five that I’ve attended so far. Though I didn’t cash and just played barely above mediocre, I did have moments of greatness, met and got to know some really super people, and lined up a new sponsorship opportunity (more details to come).
My neighbor Jeff picked me up from the airport Wednesday night and I was pretty much bed (couch) ridden until Monday morning when I finally started feeling better and left the house for my first day of “work.”
It’s so exciting! I’m teaching a pool class at Windsor Gardens. They are SO CUTE! It’s a real job too. I had to take a p-test and everything! I’ll also be teaching a pool class this summer for the city of Aurora. It will be at the adult activity center and advertised in the quarterly Leisure magazine that goes out quarterly. Lots of teaching lined up.
In fact, since I’ve been pretty much healthy again this week, it feels like all I’ve done is teach and practice. I’m teaching my seniors pool class, taught two private lessons, and had 13 people at my free clinic on Tuesday night. Yikes!
More to come soon. Make sure you check out InsidePoolMag.com to see all the video podcasts from Valley Forge and the InsidePoolMag videos on YouTube.com.
I’ll leave you with my Valley Forge photo album for now:
Yo! I can not believe that we were in Philly at the same time, but for entirely different reasons. Total bummer we didn’t shoot some pool, even if I didn’t have my sticks with me. Philly is my home town, and I coulda shown you the REAL Philly!
