Shepherd’s Bush
Shepherd’s Bush is an area in west London in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It was possibly named for the shepherds who used to use the area for their sheep, or possibly just for a guy who lived there. It was the site of the Olympics in both 1908 and 1948, and has one of London’s best concert venues for big shows. You can go to any number of restaurants or interesting shops there, or take a tour or watch a taping of a tv show at the BBC Television Centre, which dominates much of the neighborhood.
Or, if you’re me, you can go there late on a Sunday night and play pool.
John is in the shadows of this picture, attempting a particularly difficult shot:
He did hit the ball he was aiming for, although it didn’t go in. He still won 5 out of 6 games.
(Oh, and a special thank-you to Davis for keeping me up-to-date on the New York art scene).

I would like to respectfully point out that the aim of the shot was not to pot the green, simply to hit it!
:P

And if you went to Shepherd's Bush for the Olympics in 2012, you would be...nowhere near the Olympics. Across town from the Olympics. Almost as far away as you could get in a straight line in London from the Olympics.
Davis is my new hero. Second only to Britney, of course.
Perhaps S&C can be persuaded to purchase this masterpiece, and put it in the lobby. Then we can all learn how to make good choices.
If Shepard's Bush is as far as one can get from the 2012 Olympics, how do I move there?
Especially for John: remember --the shortest distance between two point points is a straight line - in the opposite direction.
