A Challenge? Did I hear A challenge?
I used to shoot pool four nights per week before I went back to school almost 
full time! I was even on the Bush League now Bud Light League. But I'm no 
sharkI just love the game!

We are one with the force Ralph! I had broached this very idea with some of 
the people you mentioned. Now perhaps, this will get the ball rolling. 
Speaking of rolling, we could have a rollling ground zero.Since Baltimore and 
wash. are nearly equidistant from the fringes of Pa. and va in which some of 
us reside, I might be able help out with the ground zeroing, or at least find 
a dingy bar we coul all imbibe at. But I'm game for whatever everyone agrees 
on. 

Cheers,
