me like going out to play a few friendly games of pool. Pool itself is supposed to be a gentleman’s game, but many of the people I play against taint the image of the game. The average person I play is just out looking for a good time. It could be someone trying to free his or her mind after a stressful day at work, or a group of friends hanging out for a while. These are the people who normally come in, have a couple drinks, and enjoy a few games of pool before going home for the evening. Although

Whatever Works A few weeks ago I met a Fresno State psychology alumni while taking my dog for a walk at the park. He and I chatted for a while as our dogs took a dip in the river. After earning his BA in psychology, he was accepted into Fresno Pacific’s Christian Ministry masters program. Like many of us, his initial interest in psychology was spurred on by the desire to help people; however, he eventually found that a career in psychology was not the ideal way for him, personally, to help.

actions that caused the plaintiff’s injury. The injury in question occurred in Peoria, Illinois during an IHL game on December 15, 1990 between the Peoria Rivermen and the Milwaukee Admirals. While the St. Louis Hockey Club technically wasn’t playing in the game, they can be held liable for the injury, as the Peoria Rivermen are a subsidiary of the club. During the third period of said game, the defendant, Stephen McKichan, a goalie for the Admirals, was both injured and rend unconscious by a body-check
sea. One day they got into an argument about who is more powerful. So they decided to go to space and settle the argument by playing a game of pool with the planets to see who is more powerful. So, when they got up into space they started to get the pool table set up. They used the planets as balls, and they used the moon as the cue ball.

popular places to visit are the beaches and pools. I believe going to the beach is better than the pool. There are so many beaches in South Florida it is just astonishing!

Going back to the essay, I’d like to make a bold statement. I will always have more fond memories of the old pool than of the new one. It may be a simple matter of the difference in total memories from each of the pools. I have swum for over
