I need any one of them on the radio (especially Maiden) on the way to the lanes to get me ready to bowl. I also love country music, especially Brooks & Dunn and Montgomery Gentry. You'll also find Andrea Bocelli in my CD collection. I listen to pretty much anything except rap (blech).

    Welcome to 2010

    ..and I'm still not bowling.  Do I miss it?  Yep.  Do I miss the expense?  Nope.

    To be blunt, I may be losing my house this summer since my ex tied the mortgage(s) of his condo and this house to his bankruptcy, so down goes Frasier.  I have been here almost 20 years, and it hurts only a little.  Honestly, it does.  Since he hadn't worked for 8 months and had no place to go, I let him move in here and he's in my great room downstairs.  I don't love him, and I certainly don't hate him (despite the continuous proverbial kick in the teeth every chance he gets), but he's still my kids' Dad and he literally would have no place to go as he has only one living relative, his mother, and she's in senior citizens' living.

    I hope to be bowling this summer.  I've been invited to bowl a PBA Doubles league and I think that sounds VERY exciting.  I've got the itch to practice and once the weather breaks a bit (we're in a deep freeze at the moment), I'll probably drag my stuff out for some practice since there's a center that has $1 a game day on Sundays.

    I think I deserve to bowl a league since I've missed the entire 2009-10 season, and with working two jobs, a night out is just what I need.

    Stay tuned.

    First Night Back

    Tuesday, September 15, 2009, 10:37 PM EST [General]

    It's been 92 days, and amazingly, I am not sore from bowling.  Tomorrow may be another story though, so stay tuned

    I think I fared pretty well considering a) it's an easy house and b) I only threw the ball like a dillweed for a few frames.  How much of a dillweed?  I left the 1-2-4-7 three times in a row.  THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!  Hello, anyone remember where the headpin is?!  Unfortunately, I only converted the last one, so the third time was the charm.  I changed my target and slightly tilted my hand position, and then I started throwing a strike or two.  FINALLY

    We took 5 points and hopefully it helps the team out next week.  I went 4/5 on ten pins, and I know I'll jinx myself for saying this, but I made all my left-side spares.  Muahahaha....

    The stunning numbers:  172-162-189/523.  For not having bowled since June, I thought it wasn't bad... and YES, the first ball out of the bag tonight was the White Dot!

    BONUS:  I got my state tournament check in the mail today, and Denise and I placed 70th in doubles for $35.00.  w00t!

    Till next time, since I don't know when I'll be bowling again!

    Thanks for the comment!
    Wow! You're taking the summer off? I know that if I did that I'd come back with nothing. LOL. I can barely go a week without bowling and when I do, it takes a few games to get back in. But, each bowler has thier own thing I guess.

    Take care,
    Rock ON!

    Thanks for the comments Lisa. I'm ok. It just threw me off for a while, and I was able to bounce back (this time). I hope that I don't have to go through that again.
