I would just like to thank all of you who've had the patience to put up with me since my comeback. It has been a lame one to be sure ... but i gave it a whirl.

I've seen the new breed blossom over the few years i've been back and i can't keep up. Time for me to leave.

Thanks to those i need to thank and sorry to those i need to be sorry to. Be good to each other because it's all you have ...

Johnny,

If you do decide to retire then it has always been fun playing both with our against you. In fact, I am this close to joining you in leaving. But Tuano reminded me of something when when I was there a couple of days ago. He reminded me that although there is no better feeling then winning, that I had told him several times that I played the game in order to feel young and to have fun. This wouldn't change no matter what my results were. And even though it is only 1% better each year I am still getting better and pushing the better players occasionally. Plus, if Vancouver ever gets a good back pin table I think things would be a lot different.

If we were golfers then then we would not be considering retiring just because we were not winning that many tournaments, so why can't foosball be the same way?

Anyway, it has got me thinking about reconsidering my own decision on retirement and maybe if you get in touch with the reasons why you play then you can make your own decision based on your own criteria.

Anyway, all the best Flyboy!

Now if Tim were considering retirement then I think that there would be cause for celebration...

Regards,

Freddy

Now, what the hell should I decide for myself with regard to foosball??? Ha ha...

Freddy,
I've retired from foos so many times I've lost count.
If it will make you happier, I can retire again.

Johnny,
Go ahead and retire, just come out of retirement every weekend. You can always retire again on Sunday night / Monday morning. Roger and I used that strategy for years.

Johnny, remeber in Vegas when Phil and I were down 2 games to Ron olsen, the crowd of 20 people were watching the match, then Phil hanged tough and we won that 3rd game. Then you started cheering me on and giving me some valuable advice. I just want to say thankyou. You gave me wings man. We were down 4-2 in the 5th game and I hear you cheering me on, and boy did it help. We won 8-7 in the 5th remember how crazy that shit was!! We wouldn't have done it without you! It really sucks not seeing you at the hang out. Come out soon!!
