Greetings!<br>

I am also thinking that if there is a league this fall, I will be sitting out. Would love to see everyone and catch up, but similar to John, am still hesitant to be inside with a crowd for any real length of time.<br>
<br>
Hope you're all doing well out there!<br>

Hi Team Moe!<br>
<br>
It's September already! And depending on your state of mind or patience level, it is only September... Hope folks have been able to remain healthy and sane these last few months.<br>
<br>
So, as expected, COVID-19 is still with us and will continue to be with us for the next few month at a minimum. How are you feeling about pool league? Are you interested and willing to resume league play this fall? Myself personally, I would love to play
competitively again and hang out with folks, but I really have very little desire to be inside Q for a couple of hours a week until the COVID thing is over (ie, we're vaccinated and the threat of spreading infection is minimal). So I'm expecting to sit out
pool league this fall.<br>
<br>
John<br>
