So, Premier League Football is over, and so is the NBA. There's not a lot of sports going on that I'm interested in (does Fear Factor count?). But it's July and it's Cardiff! And several Pinoy hopefuls are slinging their cuesticks and potting them balls in the World Pool Championships. Perhaps the greatest who ever played the game, Efren Reyes (who hails from my father's hometown of Mexico, Pampanga - REPRAZENT!), is on a roll, and not dropping a single match in the round-robin eliminations. Other Filipino greats (and up-and-comers, like Marlon Manalo) are breezing through their elimination racks. Even the two Canadians who are of Filipino descent (Alex Pagulayan and Raymond Cruz) will most likely be in the round of 64.

What makes watching the games more worthwhile is that my wife likes watching it too. It's the only sport we watch together.
