<T That was then, this is now>
<C 1>
Mark and me went down to the bar/pool hall about two or three blocks
away from where we lived with the sole intention of making some money.
We'd done that before. I was a really good pool player, especially for
being just sixteen years old, and, what's more, I look like a baby-faced
kid who wouldn't know one ball from another. This, and the way Mark set
me up, helped me hustle a . . .
