Amish Pool

 Ah, where to begin... I am currently relaxing just after the turn of a new day (12:05am) before an empty, green-felt-like table, in a basement 15-20 feet off the ground, where to my right several in my company sleep soundly and just outside on the deck, several others calmly chat in a steaming tub of water.  What on earth am I talking about?  I’m glad you asked.  After a quite interesting game of poker the six remaining members of our family headed to bed for the fourth night in our cozy Smokey Mountains cabin.  I am resting on a futon.  To my right, David and dad sleep in their bedrooms.  Above me, Jonathan sleeps soundly in his room.  Just outside on the basement porch, Abi & Alex are enjoying the warmth and relaxation of the hot tub.  Being on the side of a mountain, the basement deck railing  hangs 15-20 feet off of the ground.  Just inside, before me lays an empty pool table where earlier this evening a rowdy game of Amish Pool broke out.
