After we finished up at the Museum, Helena and I headed over to the old Newcastle Hotel, now called the Dinosaur Hotel. It was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday, so we were the only ones in the place. I had a couple of beers, and Helena got into the rum and coke, after finding a Strongbow cider not to her liking. We got some change from the bartender and I attempted to teach Helena how to play eight ball. She did alright, for a first try. At one point I bounced the cue ball off of the table and into the ladies room. She made me go in and get it. It's a good thing there was no one else around. We really enjoyed the afternoon and ever since, Helena is anxious to go and play pool again. I guess I'll have to drag her out to some more dive bars in the future. Dad of the year candidate...!!
