Honoring Surprise at BCAPL Texas State
Bad Boys Billiards, who run the BCAPL Texas State tourney, came up with these two trophies for the top female and male finishers who play in
scotch doubles, singles, and teams at the Texas BCAPL State Championship.
Such an AMAZING honor and a heart-warming idea.
I'm speechless.

Tax Talk Again
I get my taxes done for free every year down at my small city hall of the city I live in. Pretty cool little service they provide for residents.
This year a new guy did my taxes.
As he's adding in all my items, he comes across my combined winnings for my finishes at the BCAPL Texas State tournament.
It's run by a group/company who call themselves "Bay Boy Billiard Productions."
The tax guy barely said anything to me as he was typing everything in. Until... he got to that 1099- MISC from them.
"Bad Boys Billiards," he squeals out loud.
"Yep, that's the name they decided on," I say shyly.
"That sure is a different kinda name there," he says in his elderly little accent as he laughs and shakes his head, LOL.

Interviews Posted
Well, this may jinx my upcoming play at BCAPL Nationals, lol, but the two interviews I mentioned just got published!
:)
The first one that came out was Bad Boys Billiard Online Magazine. Here is the cover: OMG! I can't believe this!!! I'm on the cover of their first edition?! WOW!
And they said they have a surprise for me at BCAPL Nationals. I'll share what it is when I come back.
They asked me several questions (interview is on pages 4-5) and this was my FAV:
BB: Who have been your biggest influences on your game over the years?
Melinda: "Tough question. I guess I would have to say that I have learned something from every competitor I have ever competed against. So, they are my biggest influence. "
And then the second interview came out the same day!
Billiards Digest!! :)
The author interviewed me and then wrote up a story about my finals for my ACS 9-Ball Nationals win. I reiterated how I just tried to do my best to stay in the moment of every step to the finals.
The only thing it didn't mention was I won it on Mother's Day, and dedicated the win to her. I mentioned that on Facebook and someone replied so sweet, "Anyone who knows you knows you dedicate more than a pool match to your Mom. She must have been an amazing person ( I know mine is). That is one of your most impressive traits."
I'm so honored and shocked by the two articles. I don't even know what else to say. I actually feel weird sharing all this. But, if I am to share about my Journey with Pool, then this is part of it.
Til next time, Friends.
