FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2021 59 So, just to prove that playing billiards with the Billiards for Fun Group causes you to spontaneously smile, please see photos below of just three isolated incidents of impulsive smiling. If you still don't believe me, calendar any Tuesday from 11 am to 1 pm or from 1 to 3 pm (after The Lodge opens from quarantine, of course), and come see for yourself. You'll want to stay and play! Here's to reuniting in the Billiards Room! ~ Eileen Antoine Blindfolded Billiards was recently approved as a new club by the Board. We are excited to get together with our friends and neighbors and share this amazing sport. It's pretty straightforward. We play billiards blindfolded. Listening to where the balls go, from the initial break to each subsequent shot, by ourselves and our opponents, is an important skill to mastering this fun game. We also allow players to have an assistant "flavor" the balls after the break. What's that? Well, say you are playing solids. Your assistant can sprinkle one of the three pre- approved, professionally-sanctioned essential oils on the solids so those balls smell like either lavender, pickle juice, or a field of cows - all very strong, distinctive scents. When it's your turn, you are allowed 45 seconds to sniff the table to determine what your next shot will be. You say you don't have a blindfold? Ha! Yes you do - you can use your face mask if you've been vaccinated. Waste not, want not! So join us every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 5 pm in the Billiards Room. We look forward to "seeing" you there! Billiards for Fun Blindfolded Billiards Wild Bunch Billiards April is here and we are watching the Corona Beast continuing to wreak havoc. Hopefully, if we continue to follow the guidelines, we will be able to enjoy billiards again. The "Wild Bunch" consists of some of the best players in the league: Joe Spinella, Robert Howard, Bob Rector, Mike Corbett, Carlos Rivera, LeRoy Wright, Rocket Spinosa, and Gracy Luna. Once this beast has died and the crisis is over, if you want to play serious, competitive pool, we invite you to come by the Billiards Room and join in the stimulation of competitive play. We will keep you updated on when we can safely go into the Billiards Room, which we are hoping will be sooner than later! Please stay safe and healthy! In conclusion, Practice does NOT make Perfect Practice makes Permanent Perfect Practice makes Perfection Permanent For info, please contact Gracy Luna (951) 292-3624. ~ Gracy Luna, gracyluna@aol.com Ron Erickson's eyes twinkle too!
