TIDBITS
"Harry, I just wanted to announce the opening of the Flightline / Lifeline Clinic at #57 Don Juico St in the previous Cybercare location on the 23rd of October. We are an outpatient clinic which will care for the needs of not only the US Military Retirees and their families under the TRICARE system but all of the Expats and Filipinos who wish to be cared for in a US standardized clinic. We have gone the extra mile to bring honest health care to our community. In years past the US Military Retiree has been treated as a golden goose by the health care providers in the Philippines. The members have had to stand by while their distinction as being TRICARE eligible patients was used by dishonest health care providers to charge large amounts of money to the US Government in their name for services rendered. Even though the patient never had to pay for any of their health care under this system, their dignity and integrity were stolen every time an overpriced or fraudulent claim was made in their name. Recently the US Government has had enough and they stopped paying these health care providers. That was okay but the problem was they did nothing to back up the system to insure the military retiree had a legitimate clinic/hospital to visit. They did not care. As far as TRICARE was concerned it was up to the patient to pay their way and then personally submit a claim to TRICARE . A difficult and burdensome requirement. As a military retiree and combat veteran (US Army, Vietnam 1972) I took an oath to protect and defend. I have seen that my fellow comrades in arms have had such a difficult time these past three years in putting up with TRICARE Overseas (Wisconsin Physician Services ( WPS )) and the local health care providers I knew I had to try to do something. Not having any background in health care administration I spent these past years trying to understand what was really needed to insure our health care could, once again, be retained. Speaking directly to WPS , TRICARE PACIFIC and reading the TRICARE regulations over an extended length of time I came to understand what is needed to run a clinic under their rules. Now is the time to get our health care back.
So, with this in mind I decided to rebuild the clinic and operate it as a completely updated facility. I spent months on the various medical administration websites to discover the most up to date computerized system available which clinics in the US are using. So I now present to you the most current and cutting edge US standardized medical administration available. So what does this do for the patient? It provides our patients with a computerized electronic medical record that can be downloaded on to a disc or sent to any Doctor or Hospital in the world. It provides the ability to upload any previous medical record to be included in the current medical record. It allows the ability for the our Doctors to follow US standardized medical documentation requirements so that there are no information gaps and it is presented in a format that US Doctors use. This format will also insure that any medical insurance that a member might have will enable them to receive reimbursement much quicker if the patient is not covered by TRICARE such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, PhilHealth or their home country's medical insurance plan. In addition we have implemented the US required system for the privacy of patient records. Just as the "Privacy Act" many years ago was there to protect our private information the US Medical System has finally required similar requirements for medical records. This will require the filling out of several additional forms but will insure absolutely no one has access to your medical records but the designated individuals. There will be no more "paper records" in our clinic and there will be no databases of individuals' information that can be "hacked" into. Your personal data is safe with us. Besides this very necessary upgrade to the local health care system we of course are an appointment based clinic. How many hours have you had to sit in an un air conditioned room with 30 other contagious individuals waiting to see a Doctor? At Lifeline Medicenter we have a standard US appointment system that guarantees your rapid access to our Doctors. In addition we accept walk-ins and we have a 24/7 Doctor on call. There is nothing worse than to become ill on Sunday morning and have no other recourse than to go to the Hospital. We will offer ambulance service through one of our hospitals and we will be there to insure you are taken care of.
Dear Harry, After w rangling with SEC and DTI our official name for the clinic is Lifeline Medical Center. In addition our prospective patie nts should know that we are a non-profit organization under the parent non-profit corporation of Environmental Protection of Asia Foundation. Our website address is epafi .org and we have spent years in the Philippines protecting the land and sea and now it is time to protect the human element therefore Lifeline Medical Center will also be involved in medical missions throughout the Philippines. We are here to serve. We hope to see you all soon. James Crossley After receiving this the following press release I figured this was a good piece to follow the Lifeline Medical Center info from Jim Crossley. Ole Tom Lutz and company got away with a lot of shit while they operated here. I remember all the times I asked Capt Jack McDonald to explain the billing system at PIH and why costs seemed to be excessively high. He always told me that he had no idea of what the costs were because the billings were centralized at the Subic offices. It surprised me that someone holding the position of hospital administrator had no idea what was being charged for what. When I brought up questions of alleged Health Visions irregularities he would get very defensive and pissed off at me. Jack was a nice guy, I enjoyed talking to him and I took his words of ignorance with a grain of salt. Towards the end of his tenure here though I found that his patience was wearing thin. Somehow, now, I suspect that Jack is sitting somewhere, very happy that he got out of town when he did. In his senior years I doubt that he needs any aggravation over questions that might be raised over the PIH operation and Health Visions and anyway, according to Jack, he knows nothing. Sure - OK, fine!
PRESS RELEASE
The following is a happy letter from an AC visitor - "I have just spent this August back in the Philippines with my honey , 4 days in AC then down to Peuto Gallera , couldn't believe the price difference from February last year to this year , EWR P2000 , last year p800 after 10pm , ladies drinks p250 , beer p90 , one bar had about 60 girls ,2 mama sans and only 3 customers , and i was hassled for drinks and bar fine the moment I entered the club, needless to say I moved on quickly. The next bar had the same pricing but no pressure to buy ladies drinks, stayed for a couple hours, and in that two hours I was the only customer. I'm sure if drinks and EWR was less more customers would appear. I left and went down to Boracay Island, loved it there and very affordable, company starting at p2000 but all were happy with p1000, nice beach's great shopping, live bands on the beach nightly, highly recommend the visit there. So how about this for a variety of travel in one day , Outrigger to beach , Trike to airport , Plane to Cebu , Taxi from airport to wharf , Super cat to next stop , Mini van then finally my honeys brother met us on his motor bike , 3 on the bike 2 backpacks and shoulder bag , just over an hour later arrived at honeys village , we started out at 6am and arrived at the village 11pm . A few days in the village then back to AC to complete our holiday

We cannot forget that AC is a VERY dangerous place, and gets more so everyday... Tell your wives and better halves to have nothing in their purses that they cannot afford to lose... Carrying cell phones, valuable ID, credit cards and lots of cash is just plain boneheaded.... I suggest all women carry a "show purse" with a little money, fake IDs, etc, that they can hand over to muggers to get the mugging safely over with... This place is dangerous and we have to adjust our lives with this in mind... phil (There is some good advice from Phil here regarding what to carry or not carry in a pocketbook. It is also applicable to residents and tourists as well, do not carry more money on your person than you actually need for your daily outings. Is AC becoming unlivable or too dangerous? Not in the least, it is just wise to remember that crime is present in any large city and Angeles City is no exception. It is true that most people never hear of some of the criminal incidents that take place but thanks to Phil giving us a heads up we at least know of one and due care will be taken when parking at Johnny's or for that matter, any shopping area that might be a fishing ground for thieves. Once again it is the Christmas season and the low life bastards that prey on innocent people are active and more daring than usual).
I guess the annual Chile Cook Off will be here soon. My goodness, a year sure does go quickly. Anyway, I'm passing on this message from the Ocean Deep lads and hope that they achieve their goals. Imagine, 12 hours underwater, hell, I spend 15 minutes in a bathtub and I wrinkle up like a prune. "Harry, Maybe you could put in a plug for us up here for our charity marathon during the chili cook off. Nov 25. Comrades, Friends, and Business Associates;
Anyone wishing to pledge per hour , donate any amount or throw it in the Bali Hai Pool to help us please JUST DO IT ! WE NEED YOUR HELP !! $400 has been collected/pledged to date! Girls will be on site during the Chili Cook-Off to collect any amount you wish to contribute!! A 10 minute break every 2 to 2.5 hours for tank changes and body fluid intake is allowed and outlet is most desired. Major sponsors so far are, Ocean Deep, Bali Hai, Southern Palms, Max Wilson, Paul Keef, Pete Brozowski, and Erik Sampson. Staying underwater for 12 hours gives you a better perspective on what our POWs felt every day! Some of them for years. Tim Aukshun, 0921-268-7722 or pldt 072-8884440 Ocean Deep Past Post 9892 and Past District VII Commander Post 9892 Adjutant and Trustee One "Ocean Deep, where divers meet" www.oceandeep.biz " Harry the Horse advisory - if you order Chile at Mo's place, do not order the large bowl, stick with the small bowl. The large one is only for those that can consume the enormous portion served in one sitting. I gave up, I had to get a doggie bag for the half a bowl I could not finish. Guess what, the Clark acting NBI Director Reyes has been transferred out to another Province and has been replaced by Director Attorney Rustico Vigilia. Are further transfers of certain agents at that office imminent? At the very least, maybe some of those that are a bit "slap happy" could be moved.
Last month I reported the opening of the Raffles Hotel on Clark. A few days later I passed and noticed that the name had changed to the "Oxford" Hotel. Seems that the original "Raffles" Hotel owners took offense that their name was being duplicated elsewhere. That was the quickest name change I ever saw. No problem, the telephone numbers are the same.
I was informed that a new NBI Director has been appointed. His name is Attorney Rustico Vigilia so let us hope that there will be a few positive changes within the offices of the Clark NBI. Well, we can dream, can't we? Quite often in this town, for many of the men there is a strong woman behind him that in times of difficulties they charge on with amazing strength and determination. Case in point in Lota, the wife of Neville Holland of Nifty's and Club Rio fame. As many know Neville has had a few questionable legal problems recently that has caused him to give wife Lota the responsibilities of running their business interests on a day to day basis. Despite extreme pressures she has managed to not only keep the Jolly Frog running on Friendship Highway but has also overseen the opening of two additional clubs on either side of the Jolly Frog. I am talking about the Grand Prix Sports Bar and also the small intimate "Luscious" Club. The Sports bar features only one small TV at one end of the bar so no doubt sports might be the theme of the club but, possibly, not the sports you would watch on TV. It opens at 10 AM to midnight and local drinks at a reasonable P50 and ladies drinks at P100, food is also available. I kind of liked the layout of the "Luscious" bar as it had a kind of coziness about it that with the addition of a few sexy waitresses could make one feel downright comfortable. I was surprised to see that I could visit all three clubs without going outside but it did involve a bit of a maze to get through. Take out orders are at a reasonable P1,000 and there are a couple of rooms available for quiet conversations away from the loud music for only P700. Getting these Clubs open and also keeping Nifty's and Club Rio going at the same time has not been easy for this lady and she has had to borrow money to stay afloat but is paying off the loans out of the daily income. She is determined to keep the businesses up and running during this time that Neville cannot assist and I had the distinct impression that she will do OK.
Dave White of Hang-Out fame is no longer with us. Wait, don't worry, he did not die he just left the country. Some folks were finally able to get his broken down bow legged ass on a plane to New Zealand where no doubt he probably drank up all the booze and terrified his fellow passengers. I wonder if New Zealand knows what they are in for with this repatriation of one of their native sons? Amy, of course, did not accompany Dave and she now has the complete freedom to pursue more of her special interests. The Hang-Out remains a popular watering hole ably run now by big John and Mac the Gentleman. By the way, those hundreds of Hang-out free drink cards that are floating around, well, trash them, they are no longer recognized. I kept a few as a souvenir. I heard a rumor that the "All Blacks" will adopt Davey as a team mascot and will lead them in that routine they use before each game - keep your eyes on the TV the next time they play! MOPERY - While sitting at Mo's place someone asked what this word meant because he had read somewhere that it was a legal term. By golly, after researching it on the Wikipedia we found that it is a vague and obscure legal term, used in certain jurisdictions to mean "walking down the street with no clear destination or purpose". In 1970, in Columbus, Ohio, Mopery was used by police to harass counterculture "hippies" who were regarded as unsavory. It has also been identified as an old English misdemeanor of exposing oneself in front of a blind man on a public highway. Of course, now, this old Horse is concerned because when the local police and the NBI run out of charges to extort money from foreigners they might dig out this old vague law. Imagine how many lads tend to walk down Fields Ave after a few drinks with no clear destination in mind and no purpose other than to search out a good looking lady. Take warning though, if you stop to take a piss, make sure there are no blind folks nearby! TAPS
2. He was known on the message board as "Vegas Gary" and his many friends in town were surprised to learn of his death on the morning of 23 Oct. Gary Wiley, over the last few years had a few medical problems and he was struggling with a bad liver. The doctors told him that if he did not quit drinking that he would not make it to old age. This time when he fell ill and his girlfriend, Ann, tried to get him to go to a doctor he refused to go. When she asked for an ambulance, upon its arrival Gary refused to go. Maybe he just didn't feel like fighting it anymore. Gary was only in his forties and should have stayed with us a lot longer than he did but a liver can take only so much abuse before it calls it quits. Sadly, like so many expats that come to this town with big dreams, when sickness or death occurs, a fund raiser is necessary to meet expenses. Guys, plan ahead, build up that bank account while you can and don't leave a wife or girlfriend not knowing where her next meal is coming from. Gary, I'll raise a glass of liquid in your memory but this time I think I will settle for a glass of V8 Juice. I WOULD IF I COULD
TOURISTS OF THE MONTH
MERCEDES HOSPITAL
When the Mrs and I entered the Hospital I thought I was back in CyberCare as the two receptionists on duty were the two charming ladies that used to greet everybody at CyberCare. As I looked around the waiting area I even saw many of the patients that used to be seen at CyberCare, it was like old home week. It was when I was finally ushered in to see the primary care doctor to discuss my swollen feet that I began to feel like the visiting golden goose bringing the gift of a TriCare patient. You see, as I gave my history of all my other ailments that I mentioned in the preceding paragraph he started to rattle off all the tests that I should have to bring my medical review up to date. I ended up being admitted for an overnight stay to undergo a endoscope procedure to check out my problem with the Hiatal Hernia. I agreed to that because, really, it was something I had
FIELDS AVE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC
One afternoon in late September the Mayor called a meeting of a few key personnel and informed them that he had been directed by "Higher Authority" to close Fields Ave and some of the connecting streets to all motorized vehicles. At four PM City Director PSSupt Segubre, Station four Commander Major Magune and key Angeles Clarkfield Tourist Association (ACTA) members met at the Tourist Police office on Fields Ave to develop a short notice action plan. Within two hours barriers had been placed at key locations and all traffic was barred from entering a portion of the entertainment area. In the 25 years that this horse has been plying the streets of Fields Ave this is the first time for me to experience such a closure. As of 26 November the closure is still in effect though a few streets have been opened to traffic. There are many questions from the local business owners who are adversely affected by the closure as to why was the closure necessary and how long will it be in effect. Prior to the closure approval for a one way traffic scheme had been approved by the Balibago City Council along with certain "no parking areas" and was to be implemented by the end of September. Internationally approved signs had been made at a budget of P86,000 which was contributed by three local expats who realized that the ACTA did not have enough funds to finance the project. With the closure, this one way system is now on hold. Some of the concerns of the locals is that there is not enough parking lots available outside of the zone, their income has dropped anywhere from 30 to 50 percent, and hotel guests have great difficulty in checking into hotels as they have to walk long distances with their luggage in tow. Many are unhappy with the no notice closure and also the lack of information explaining what threat may be out there, if any. This horse has spoken to many of the tourists that frequent Fields Ave and they like the idea of the "walking street" and not having to worry about tricycles and cars running them down as they walk from bar to bar. Some feel that it would be better to close the streets at 6 or 7 PM rather than 24 hours a day. After three weeks the patience of some businessmen, i.e., Mo at Mo's place is running out as much of his business at his restaurant depended on locals that drive their scooters and motorcycles up to his entrance and park. One thing to know is that there has always been a plan to eventually create a walking street within a portion of Fields Ave starting from around 6 PM to maybe 5 AM but no action was taken because the problem of parking and getting guests to their hotels had not been resolved. Instead, it was felt that the one way system was a more viable solution to the traffic congestion and was worth a try. Possibly with this closure that has been directed by "higher authority" some valuable lessons can be learned and can be put to good use in the future. Meanwhile, please realize that this closure is not ACTA initiated and that the Tourist Auxiliary Police (TAP) are only supplementing the PNP and RMG teams because of their shortage of personnel.
It was made clear to the people that it was not the TAP responsible for the closures and that they were only supplementing the PNP who are ultimately responsible for manning the various barriers that have been set up. The Mayor emphasized that the present restrictions would continue and that there were to be no exceptions
DEAD MAN'S CURVE?
YATS WELCOMES LEVY LAUS This Horse always welcomes any opportunity to visit the Yats International Wine Club. Why is that? Because it is such a damn nice place, high class, a bit expensive and usually frequented by customers belonging to an economic structure that I am not used to being around. It is like in many years past when a peasant gets to visit the Kings palace and is humbled by the visit. Now, a horse from New York has no class at all but humble, no way. So I welcomed the very nice invitation I received from the dynamic man in charge, Philip Golding, that allowed me to venture into a cocktail reception for the newly installed president and chief executive officer of Clark Development Corporation, Levy P. Laus. Of course, I had camera in hand (ok already, my invitation said "reporter" so it was a working visit) and was able to mingle with the crowd that had gathered. I tried to find someone that did not mind talking to a New York Horse with a camera and after desperately searching I gratefully latched on to Pat Lynch. We chatted for an hour and as usual Pat filled me with many bits of information that was always preceded with the words "off the record" but will let me know when I can "break the story". I was also able to say hello to Tony Biggs, GM of Fontana, Michael Wilson, GM of Holiday Inn, Philip Golding and dynamic chef, Jorge. That was it, everyone else ignored me, must have been the horse smell. To be honest, it was a first class event indicative of the professionalism always displayed by the Yats management and staff. When the time came to introduce Mr. Laus, attention was focused on the words of Mr. Denny Wang who made this reception possible. Mr. Wang is the guiding light behind the Yats International Wine Club and the Clearwater Country Club and what a fine, distinguished gentleman he is. Naturally, the highlights of the event were meeting Mr. Laus (eh, everyone except me and the other reporter) and hearing his words as he described his plans for the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ). It was great, I believed everything he said, I wanted to jump up in front, shake his hand, and tell him I volunteer to be on his team, sign me up now. But, I maintained my cool and just took some pictures because, after all, he never mentioned anything about horseback riding. After the speeches, I drank another glass of champagne, grabbed some more of the superb snacks and made an uneventful exit knowing that no one there would notice my absence. I have framed my invitation and can't wait for another excuse to visit Yats, but Philip, do not serve champagne again, I nearly developed a taste for it and that is way out of my class. Anyone for a rum and coke? BROWN SUGAR
GIVE ME FIVE!
THE ANGELES BEACH CLUB HOTEL (ABC)
It will be beautiful, exciting and different. What can be more unique than to offer two special suites, one for $300 a night and the other for $500. I would never be able to afford such luxury but all I ask is that I get to visit that $500 dollar room and take some pictures. I was told that if no one rents it then Gerard will keep it for himself. You better believe that it will be luxurious with some neat gadgets thrown in. I was surprised to be told that the ABC will be open for business on 17 Nov. The price of rooms are $99 for the standard and $120 for a standard suite with a Jacuzzi bath and also a separate shower enclosure. All prices are inclusive of breakfast as well. The "beach" area will be fantastic and the rock formations at the end of the pool with its waterfall effect will no doubt become a Kodak moment for many visitors and tourists whether they stay there or not. There will be a very nice restaurant available and also a coffee shop but an unusual feature will be the availability of fresh fish, a wine chiller under the stairs, and cold cuts displayed in a glass case. The Dutch cook is from Holland and manager Andre is on hand to keep everything running smoothly. Upstairs will feature a spa and restaurant/bar where one can avail of a body and foot massage. Above that will be a gym and sun terrace. At poolside thee will be guest lockers, showers and bathrooms. For further details you can access www.angelesbeachclubhotel.com . This Hotel is the latest addition to the exciting growth of night clubs and hotels along Don Juico Ave (Perimeter Road) and it brings a touch of class that for many years has been the step child of Fields Ave. This growth will continue as I see that the Field next to the Mormon church is now undergoing clearing and preparation for a construction project. Within five years the area from Checkpoint to Friendship will be on an equal footing with Fields Ave as a tourist destination. Another thing you can bank on, Gerard is not finished yet, this man still has more surprises up his sleeve as he plans projects 10 years in advance. He will quietly buy up some key properties and patiently wait for the right time to develop something that is bigger and better than his last creation. The man is a genius and Angeles City is lucky to have him on board along with his nephew, Karel Heinan who is also an astute businessman. After the ABC Hotel can you imagine what the planned hotel for the end of Fields Ave and MacArthur will look like? WHAT'S NEXT?
HEeeeeeeeeees BACK
IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?
The name of the bar is "Dr. Holm's Bar" and the man holding that name is usually on hand to chat with his customers. I finally had the time to stop by and see what the place was like and I must say that it is a pleasant mid-size establishment that affords a great view of the street, has lots of available parking, a long bar, plenty of seating and not too loud music. The owner told me that the name came from Norway and he liked the uniqueness of it. I think it works along with the reasonable prices for drink and food. Operating hours are from 1000 - 0200 hours, happy hour prices at P40 and normal price of local drinks P50. EWR at P1,000 and a short menu is available for P800. Breakfast and lunch menu awaits you but for evening time snacks are served. At random times finger foods are served at the bar and the man in charge used to be the owner of the Gentlemen's Club. Have you guessed by now that I forgot his name and it ain't Dr. Holms but screw it, I will just call him "Doc" until I get back there and find out his proper name. LOOKING FOR JUSTICE
Remember the three Mamasans and the head waitress from Angel Witch who were picked up and arrested by the NBI under very questionable circumstances in Sept? Well, they are still being held in the stinking, dirty, overcrowded City Jail without bail. Hopefully, by the time this column is out on the internet they will have been released but damn, what a long, process it has been. The Angeles Clarkfield Tourist Association (ACTA) lawyer, Marlon Llauder has been working every day for the last month to gain their release. There is no longer a case against them as the three ladies that were forced by NBI agents to sign false statements have recanted those affadavits. The problem is that initially, the judge who committed the ladies to jail went on vacation and we had to wait 15 days for her return. Then, finally, upon her return a court hearing was held and then a second one was scheduled two days later in which the responsible NBI agents were ordered to appear. On that day, at least 70 members of LACEM, led by Cel Paran showed up at the Court House to show support for the Mamasans and to protest the actions of the NBI. Surprise, surprise, the NBI agents failed to show up for the hearing. Maybe they did not want to face 70 angry ladies that they could not slap around. In any case, Attorney Llauder has submitted the necessary paperwork for dismissal of charges to the court but then a bunch of special holidays came up and further delays have been encountered. Due process of law is nice but the system is so very slow and frustrating and these ladies have been forced to live in horrid conditions for nearly two months now. As much as possible the victims have been looked after and much thanks goes out to Mo, from Mo's place who has made sure that they continue to receive their full pay and allowances, as well as food, mattresses, blankets and other sundry items during their incarceration. Cel and the LACEM ladies are angry and there are far more than the 70 ladies that showed up at the courthouse who are looking for justice for some of their own. It has taken a long time, but maybe this time the justice they seek will have been served thanks to Attorney Llauder and others that have been working behind the scenes to get these women released.

I swear that it was only a few months ago that we had turkey for Thanksgiving but I know it is just that time seems to go faster with each year that I grow older. Or, maybe it is just that I am so busy that I lose track of time. I know I have a lot to be grateful for, being healthy, sort of, having our new apartment completed and enjoying the extra room I now live in, having a lot of friends (won't mention the enemies) and well, just being alive. I am glad that I still have the time and energy to write this column and that you folks have the patience to wade through all the words I write. I know that some complain that my column is too long and each month I keep telling my friend Chuck that it will be short but somehow, it still ends up being a bit long. One thing I can do is keep this intro short, so, lets get to it.

Currently we are a full service out-patient clinic designed around your needs. Services which at present we do not have such as full hospital and pharmacy will be developed and hopefully will be included at a later date. We have four specialist Doctors on staff and in a very short period of time we will have all the major specialists represented. We have x-ray facilities, laboratory and dental. Soon we will include Re-hab and Ophthalmology. We want to give you the service which you deserve. You fought for the freedom of the US and many other democratic societies. It is time you have the facility that cares for you, that understands your sacrifice and devotion to the oath we took many years ago to protect and defend. 
Looking back on our holiday the highlight for me was your temporary closing party , the costumes the girls had on were truly spectacular, and they seemed to be really enjoying themselves , which of course made the guys enjoy themselves even more , and what you served up for desert , I think every guy had his fill , I never realized cream could taste so good , the only disappointment for me was my honey couldn't stay and enjoy herself , she would have loved to join in the fun and games , oh well next time maybe. Spent most of my time at Vipers, as you all know if the girls are friendly and fun and the manager treats like a friend not a customer, you enjoy your holiday even more , So thanks to the girls , especially Velma and the manager Henrick. I will be back in 3 or 4 months time to see a little more and of course spend a little time in AC and hope to catch up with you, keep up the great newsletters, I think a lot of us look forward to the news each month - Regards Marty" 
Guys, you have to stop by the Hole in the Wall for a bit of a feed and to check out some of the best looking waitresses in town. They really have some cuties there and they are fun to talk to. Now there might be a couple with attitude problems but in general, well, find out for yourself. My problem is that I don't get there all that often, usually when my pool team plays there. My original idea in mentioning this Club was that I thoroughly enjoyed a great Friday lunch of breaded shrimp and it was so good that I did not pay attention to the price when I paid my bill. Priscilla asked me how much the meal was and I had no idea because my bill included the drinks that I always buy for my players. I was totally distracted by the four ladies that happened to be sitting at my table when the league game was over. Now, I have forgotten their names but there was one that was particularly charming with her friendly smile and beautiful long hair and another lady that was tall, good figure, nice smile and still looked fantastic despite having four children to support. Is there anyone reading this that likes children enough to court a good looking single Mom with four rug rats in tow. Hey, instant tax deductions, go for it! OK, enough already, by now you know I just had a very pleasant afternoon, despite my team getting their ass kicked by the home team. It was so bad that my team allowed me to play in the last doubles match and I got a ball in on the break. Of course I then proceeded to drop the bridge on my next shot and moved the ball I was shooting at, but they let me slide on that, after a bit of teasing, sank it and then thoroughly screwed up my next shot. But, we did win that last game but I think it was because they were laughing so hard at this old horse trying to play.
