Law of Averages
There’s a reason they say law of averages. It’s because it can’t be avoided. Sometimes you can get away from breaking the law, but in the end the law always wins. If you speed enough or don’t pay your parking tickets, eventually it’ll come back to you. The law of my bowling average is no different. ...
Here We Go Again
I’m going to stress the “to” part of “Gutter to Glory” today. As in #2. As in how I bowled last night… Yeah, it was stinky. It wasn’t exactly shaping up to be the best formula for success at the start of the week. Three rough practice sessions produced only incremental improvements and latent frustration ...
Tim is Juicing…
…and other ridiculous lies to compensate for my terrible season. I’m baaaaack! That’s right, I’ve taken over the blog again for a super-special, extra annoying post chock full of random thoughts and a little bit about bowling to keep Tim happy. First, I’d like to say congratulations to Tim for a wonderful 600 series and ...
A New High for Low
After ending 2011 with a 600 series in my portfolio, this week felt great at the start. Couple that with a bit of breathing room at work and there was a lot to feel good about. I was still holding off on scheduling any press conferences or asking Roto Grip to name their next ball ...
Out with a Bang
Another week went by and I’m late again. The end of the year has been insane, but we got two huge sites launched at work and the stress is off my back. Looking forward to a slightly less busy start to 2012. And… new goals for glory! Because, as it happens, I closed out 2011 ...
Quick Update
Wow, the holidays make it difficult to keep up with a blog. If only I was writing about Christmas decorations and poorly decorated cookies… I didn’t even get a chance to talk about my failure during league last week! I guess a Christmas with less failure in it is a good thing. But, here I ...
Splits and Strikes
Bowling was fun tonight. Challenging, fun, and rewarding. I haven’t bowled league in two weeks and was itching to get out on the lanes. No, itching is an understatement. I was starving for some real bowling action. It definitely helped that I had a new weapon. It’s not a secret that I came upon a ...
Traveling
It’s been a while hasn’t it? The holidays are upon us and between Thanksgiving and Christmas, things become pretty hectic. I’m not making excuses for the lack of blog posts. Okay, I am. On top of the usual festivities, this is also the “we’re up to our eyeballs” time at work. So, bowling hasn’t been ...
That Wasn’t So Bad
Stressing the SO part of that statement. It wasn’t great, but Thursday was an improvement over where I’d been. A final series score of 477 that felt closer to a 510. Tough lane conditions after the oil was torn apart by the league before us and then all the straight balls moved the oil around ...
A Whole New Approach
Visualization and online video watching are now key components of my training regiment. After more than a week off, I hit the lanes to practice, in an attempt to avoid utter humiliation at league this coming Thursday. It turned out a lot better than I’d hoped. It was also very surprising. To cover the backstory ...
