Reigniting That Passion
"I had to hit a point where I wanted to win. I had to WANT it again. I had to reignite that desire that pushed me in the beginning. I needed fuel to start that fire, and my current frustration and disappointment were exactly what I needed. It sent me to a point where I reconnected to my game on an emotional level. I learned that if I am not connected to my game on an emotional level - I stop caring. That's not only applicable to pool, it is applicable to everything in life. If you don't care anymore - if you disconnect from anything emotionally - it starts to slip away from you." ~ Blackjack's Random Thoughts, 08-20-1993.

David is one of the most helpful, knowledgeable and intelligent players I have ever been associated with.
I sent him an email several years ago about crossing the 100 mark as I had picked up 14.1. He was very help and encouraging. I came so close but had to quit when three children were entering college.
I wish every pool player had the willingness to share and be helpful. He is truly a class act.
I still have his response to my questions and am proud to have been lucky enough to get help from him.
