This cache was hidden for Thanksgiving 2004. What are you thankful
for?
I haven't played pool in awhile but I've been enjoying the game
for as long as I can remember. You see, Dad bought a small bar pool
table when I was three and bought me a cue when I could barely see
over the edge. Later, I'd race home from school and play for hours
while listening to the "Oldies" on Dad's jukebox. I couldn't wait
for him to come home and ask, "Wanna play?" Over the years, my
focus changed to baseball but, after the sun went down, Dad and I
always found the time to enjoy a game. I eventually moved away, had
a family and started a career of my own. As priorities changed, I
played less and less. But, every couple years I'd find my way home
for some R&R, visit with friends and family, and play a game
with Dad. Its been almost 20 years since I moved away and that old,
faded pool table is still there. It's mostly used for folding
laundry these days but I know it brings back fond memories for both
of us. It makes me smile to think ahead to my next visit when
I’ll ask, “Wanna play?” Funny, I don’t
remember him ever saying, “No.”
“Thanks, Dad!”
There’s a part of this memory in the cache that
shouldn’t be removed!
