Several months ago, Mrs. Cue and I planned on going to a show that came up this week. We forgot all about it. A reminder showed up on my phone, the same night as my pool league. As much as I like pool, my girl is always my main focus so I called and asked for them to get a sub for me. The next day I found out that they couldn't get a sub because it was at the last minute. This meant that the team lost every match that I would have played 10-0. That's hard to overcome...but they did! They ended up winning 3 out of the 4 rounds! That is awesome!
