Bringing back old memories

It's weird when some experience bring back old memories...
My childhood friend Anthony
setting up to play pool

This past weekend, I got in touch with a high school friend and went to go shoot pool with him after work,

As we shot pool for about 3 hours, it brought back memories from when I really started liking to pay pool.

I remember at Mount Mercy, University, when my roommates and teammates would go rent out to pool materials at the university and we would take turns shooting pool and hanging out. This would last about 2 or 3 hours right after we had practice and ate dinner.

One thing that stuck in my mind was one of teammates teaching me the techniques of how to play pool because I would miss he easiest shot that my grandmother could make in her sleep. Even after that, until this day, I struggle to make those shots.

Then, that brought me back to when I would go bowling once a month with all my floor mates to the local bowling alley in Cedar Rapids during my first year at Mount Mercy. We would make bets on which pair would have the highest score (Of course, my roommates and I did). And whoever lost would buy the next round of drinks.

Those days, even when we had homework and project due the next day, we were careless and free with life being simple but complicated at the same time. But we made effort to hang out with one another because who knew when we were going to see each other next.

Don't take granted from those moments that you can be with your friends and/or your family, because it might all just become a memory...
