When we moved into our house many years ago, we were delighted to find that the previous owners had left behind a pool table in the basement. They also left a ping pong (or table tennis) table. My kids thought it was a very thoughtful gesture, but I kind of assumed it was because they didn't want to carry 600 pounds of slate pool table up a flight of stairs, and really...who plays ping pong anymor
