Pool Night

Our friend Sandy was up in Seattle this week for work, so tonight Eric, Krisanne, and I met him to play pool.

We decided teams via two rounds of rock-paper-scissors, and Eric and I wound up teammates. We won game one, got soundly beat in game two, so it all came down to the third game grudge match.

I managed to actually play halfway decent, so that added with Eric's natural pool abilities we leapt out to an early lead: one ball left to Sandy and Krisanne's four or five. I sank our final ball and took aim on the 8 ball, but failed to put in in. Eric and I tried in vain, turn after turn, until our lead evaporated and we were in danger of losing the game to Sandy and Krisanne who were coming on strong. I had yet another shot on the 8 ball, a sharp angle but close to the pocket, and the ball finally went in. Thus, team Eric and Karl secured the evening's championship two games to one!!

Note the concentration as Eric uses the bridge, to line up a shot. ;)
