Hopefully the above will copy over as these are photos taken of me when I was playing Ken.

I don't know how to do it. <laugh>

Of course its lovely to be looking down a cue again but I'm married now & a Dad & I wouldn't swap that for the world. Plus I'm not good enough anyway. <laugh>

I'll continue to play amateur, get involved in the odd Pro-Am again here & there, but that'll be about it.
