State Fair

"U gotta Love it" :-

Were in day 3 of the fair. While it has it's perks, it has it's grinds. My chapter students are helping at the Animal Learning center. They love it. The students get to assist in all kinds of animal husbandry practices that many of them, unfortunately, miss out on. It also gives those students with notions of becoming an animal practitioner some hands on experience and interaction with some real vets and vet students. Such a great experience. It is settling down now as well and the students are into their routines and are my two student supervisors are exceptionally talented this year, so things are going smoothly.

Ran three out Thursday night for a 30-0 start in league night. They were gracious enough to hold up the show until I was able to free myself up from my responsibilities. (Most of pool is contrary to a responsible life.) And ended up with a 69 point night. (possible 90) One more night and a positioning round and we should be able to pull off the top team award. As long as no one trailing me makes a nine on the break, I will still hold the lead at '4'. I have been breaking well lately, but no nine balls in league lately.

Brad brought up an option for adding a strong player to our '5' for the state tournament. While I would like to play all the time, I also think that a strong "6th" would be an asset to cracking the top echelon of the tournament. Something that just occurred to me, but I am not sure we would want to break up the team if we ended up winning the entire tournament, nor am I sure we want to start playing in the Master Team level either. I will ponder this more for a while before I get my final thoughts together for Brad. Always something.

More from the fair in the future.
