Today began with darkness and the scent of ozone and rain. For every Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry, snooker also boasted its bit-part players: the what-might-have-beens and never-minds, who left their own small but indelible mark upon the sport.For the duration of the postponed World Championships, the PA news agency is turning its focus on the Crucible characters who never quite made the competition’s last three days.Mon Apr 20 1300Clad in his trademark bright white suit, Kirk Stevens swaggered out of the Canadian pool halls and took snooker – and the newspaper front pages – by storm.Stevens’ brash and impetuous style instantly aligned him with the sport’s ‘bad boy’ brigade of Alex Higgins and Jimmy White, and for a time he looked set to ride his way right to the top of the the game.He made one of the sport’s first televised maximums in a 1984 Benson and Hedges Masters clash with White, with whom he shared a memorably champagne-soaked post-match interview with the BBC’s David Vine.Stevens reached two Crucible semi-finals, being edged out by Higgins on his second visit in 1980, and White in a predictably high-octane match-up four years later.In 1985, shortly after being accused by his opponent Silvino Francisco of being “high as a kite” during their British Open final, Stevens laid bare his cocaine addiction in the British tabloids.After admitting he was “helplessly addicted” to the drug, Stevens’ game never really recovered. I felt a little sadness as the imminence of its passing crossed my mind. I had to move, and nothing on the market could match my budget. The 2020 World Snooker Championship started on Friday, July 31 and ends in mid-August with its final - spread across two days on Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16. Turns out management is not something I’m well suited for. I appreciate the consistency and low stress of a steady pace, but I also find value in the highs I only find in the company of troubled lows.I’ll do well to remember. That single mile also begin purging my lungs. White further stated that he did not intend his words to be interpreted as meaning that Kirk Stevens introduced him to crack cocaine or that Kirk Stevens ever played WPBSA snooker under the influence of drugs.The event was also called the Professional Players Tournament (1982/83–1983/1984)The event was also called the European Open (1988/1989–1992/1993)The event was also called the Goya Matchroom Trophy and the International Open (1981/1982–1984/1985 & 1986/1987–1992/1993)The event was also called the Asian Open (1989/1990–1992/1993)The event was also called the British Gold Cup (1979/1980), Yamaha Organs Trophy (1980/1981) and International Masters (1981/1982–1983/1984)The event was also called the Professional Snooker League (1983/1984), Matchroom League (1986/1987 to 1991/1992) and the European League (1992/1993 to 1996/1997)The event was also called the Canadian Open (1978/1979–1980/1981)The event was also called the Dubai Masters (1988/1989)The event was also called the Canadian Open (1976/1977–1980/1981)The event was also called the Goya Matchroom Trophy and the International Open (1981/1982–1984/1985 & 1986/1987–1992/1993)The event was also called the British Gold Cup (1979/1980), Yamaha Organs Trophy (1980/1981) and International Masters (1981/1982–1983/1984) The point is, her presence reconnected me with something important. The customers who would keep me well past close became a blessing instead of a curse. It leads me to wonder what other places in my life would benefit from such freedom? I never had enough to make it the house I’d hoped it would become, and I realized 1,600 square feet with a front and back yard is a lot of real estate to manage for one person.That said, these past few years it has been a gift. I feel weak.Last night, I started running again. No stops. To put it in context you have to understand I work open to close on Wednesdays. And while that day is still a ways off, its passing is inevitable.Today it marked a reminder that all good things must end. His prayer in the Garden is raw and honest. It probably isn’t. One bound in leather.This past week saw the beginning of a fast from dairy. Made better by my time with it and ready to embrace the new and the different.Such is today’s life lesson. The Toronto cueman climbed to 4th in the rankings on the back of several quarter and semi-final appearances. Strangely, I find I’m running faster, longer and harder than I did when I had goals, timers and a schedule. Time have changed, and I with them.Preparations for today have stirred up memories like sediment in a stream, and my mucking about has only brought up more. However, that wisdom can only be found in a right understanding of who God is. In the interim between my sister selling her house and purchasing a new one, it provided a home for her, my niece and my nephew.
A few months later however he got his revenge over Thorburn, beating him in the final of the Canadian Professional Championship.At the 1980 World Championship, Stevens became the youngest player to reach the semi-finals, before losing 13-16 to Alex Higgins.
