Your making me REALLY want to take a trip down your way! Of course our friends moved from Hoover to Villa Rica GA a few years ago, but I can still stay a day in B'ham just for the cue. I had Williamson brothers in GA, as well as Jim n Nicks at their GA location, but I like the one in B'ham better. Actually I think it was in Pelham? Can't remember, but yes you can smell good cue from MILES away!!
And here I am trying to watch the diet in prep for the big race!! You know I DO have to get on a scale at registration in front of ALL the other athletes!
