Bowled over.....

poltr1It's too cold to do anything outside -- or inside -- so I'm watching TV and reading. Last night was the same way. I have a new understanding for the popularity of Hockey Night In Canada. There's nothing else to do on Saturday nights when it's freezing out.
This morning, while channel surfing, I found a trick shot bowling competition on ESPN Classic. That reminded me of the Saturday afternoons I spent in the winter, inside, watching the Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC.
My dad used to bowl -- that was part of his "guy time". He was in a Tuesday night league. The basement has a number of bowling trophies and pictures of the teams he was in.
I used to bowl too. It's been years since I've put on the shoes and rolled the ball. My all-time high is a 201, I think. I remember being so nervous about breaking the 200 barrier that I almost didn't do it.
Maybe I should go into the garage today, look for the bag, and spend some time getting reacquainted with the lanes. Anybody wanna join me?

Bowling
Date: 2007-02-12 04:27 am (UTC)I have yet to break that barrier. Then again, going bowling about once every 4 years is not going to make that happen! I actually had to dust the bag off before I opened it.
I have a strong 150 average, lol. Then again, I gotta love a sport that encourages the 'athletes' to drink beer while competing.
If I can find a free night, maybe we can do a guys night out.
Guys night out?
