Rack ‘em up:

A steady rain fell as Tuesday night pool league got underway. Lightning and thunder shook the ground and rattled windows. Time for pool league, a raging storm is nothing! Or maybe, “we came to play in a pool league, and nothing can stop us! Well, maybe I exaggerate. Although it is now a fact, nearly every single League player showed up to play for their team. Storm or not. 

Perla Figueroa is the new Captain of Milano Hotel and Bar Team # 2 and is doing a great job. The team gets along well with each other and with opposing teams. Mutual respect seems to be in their DNA as she leads the team. Sharon Morris plays for Milano’s Team #2 and drew Joshua House of Welcome Inn’s Team # 1 as the opponent. Suddenly there was a holler, “you better be nice to my granny.” Oh, no, please don’t let it be true, yet it was. Somehow Jacob Tupper (the hollerin’ child in this case) had bribed his way onto Milano’s Team # 2.

Jacob is also our local Disc Golf Champion, but the sport, he says, “is too slow for Granny.” Still, the night’s highlight remains, Jacob hollering how good friend Joshua House best be nice to his Granny or else!

Josh, the top shooter of Welcome Inn Team # 1, went on to win the pool game, and honestly, we all were smiling, but none more than Sharon and Jacob. It was a fun night, but watching Sharon and Jacob playing for Milano’s # 2 Team made it even better.

R.I.P. Jessy Romo. Jessy, a Welcome Inn Team # 1 player, made you feel good after speaking with him. His genuine interest in you on any particular day made you feel better, as he generally was smiling, polite, and had a positive view of life.
