I used to be OK at 8 ball and 9 ball, but then I didn't play for like 10 years. When I moved to Texas last year, I bought a table. I have found that it doesn't come back to me as quickly as I would have thought. 8 ball is forgiving enough for me to get away with but I have yet to even think of playing a game of 9 ball again.
I have planed for a while now to set up a semi-regular GTG at my house for M.M.E. to play pool, eat pizza, etc, but I am not quite ready for it yet. Once my house projects list gets a little smaller and we get a regular schedule in place for my daughter spending one weekend a month at the grandparents, I will try to get it going.
