The Color of Money Trip
I enjoy shooting pool and the movie that has Tom Cruise and Paul Newman in it, is one of my favorites. It’s The Color of Money and the whole movie is about pool. In the movie, Paul Newman’s character decides to take Vince (Tom Cruise) on a trip to Las Vegas to play in a big pool tournament. As they head out on their trip to Vegas, they stop at all the pool halls along the way and try to earn some extra cash by playing pool.
I would love to be able to do that one day. My pool game is not as good as Vincent, but I play better than most. I think it would be so awesome to go on a road trip and hit all the pool halls you see in the small towns of America. Just stopping in at each place for a day or two and staying at cheap hotels; sounds like a good time to me! I’m not sure if I could win much money doing this, but it would be fun to go to all the different pool places and compete against new pool players you have never seen before. So one day I hope to take the Color of Money trip and since I live on the east coast, I might just have to make my destination for Las Vegas too!
