That’s a Wrap
And just like that, league season is done. I finished up my second, spring league on Monday and now I have nothing but warm days and happiness ahead of me. Wasn’t exactly a happy matter the last few weeks of bowling. Though, it was a phenomenal learning experience and capped off a great experience over ...
A Short Dance on the Big Stage
It was a long journey to get to the USBC Open Championships. Well, to the actual bowling part of it, that is. After flying from Milwaukee to Atlanta and then to New Orleans, we drove the final stretch to Baton Rouge. That was all Friday and there were still three days until the action happened. ...
A Thumb By Any Other Name
Seems that things have taken turn for the worst very shortly after taking a turn towards the awesome. I guess that’s what makes for a good story.
Removing My Head From My…
…Bowling game. Though, at times, I would have finished the title of this post with something more profane to describe how I bowled on Monday. It wasn’t the ugliest night on the lanes and it ended with a nice, humorous twist, but I still got in my own way. How many times have I been ...
Déjà Vu
I swear I’ve been here before, but it felt a lot different than this… Looking up at the scores on the screen at the end of league on Monday night, something wreaked of familiarity. I knew it wasn’t how I’d bowled—this week had a much better feel than last week. I looked through my stats ...
Just Plain Bad
Describing Thursday’s night on the lanes doesn’t take much… bad. Simply and without any fanfare or debate. I can completely accept what happened and took it in stride while it happened. After three games of sloppy throws and many pins standing, I walked away learning… nothing. Nope, not a darn thing and I’m happy about ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
