Evening recap...
So.. I've been in a foul mood, can you tell? But.. don't worry. This is about as bad as it gets.
So I decided that tonight I needed to get out of the house. I drove down to "downtown Lockport", swung through the parking lot to see how crowded the bars were and then pass by Carter's Place to see what the entertainment was that night.
Tonight's band was some 60's and 70's rock group.. I decided I could pass on that. Besides, my original plan called for some solo bowling with beer. I headed up to the ATM and got some cash, then drove north to "George's", a restaurant attached to the Strike & Spare II.
George's had breaded pork chops on special tonight. So, those.. with some "Greek potatoes"... were my dinner. I washed it down with a Bud Light and then they told me that dessert was included. So I had some cheesecake and a couple glasses of water to help with the flavors.
Then I headed over to the Strike & Spare II. I had stopped in before eating and was told league bowling would continue till 9:30, after which I could get a lane.
So.. I had my dinner... and the lonely guy in me started to speak inside my mind. The waitress at George's was a petite young lady with a nice figure. She also had made herself up nice... Unfortunately she smoked on her break, but .. heh.. what was I gonna do, ask my waitress out? There was also a hostess with a rather pronounced body. But, we had zero interaction.
I went over to the bowling alley and bought another Bud Light. I think the bartender might have been pregnant... So I sat on a stool, sipping my beer and watching the league bowlers finish up. There were a couple of twenty-somethings in front of me, looking stylish and smoking... there was a pregnant 18 year old and her 16 year old (guessing on ages) female friend doing laps up and down the bowling alley...
So, they called my name and I bowled. I remember seein' a married lady with 3 of her friends in the lane next to mine. At least I think she was married.. either that or engaged. She was cute. And I remember some girl who looked maybe 14 or 15 who made eye contact with me repeatedly. That was kinda weird.
Anyway, I had fun, bowling by myself... switching over to Miller High Life and just slinging balls down the alley. I don't do anything fancy, just bowl "straight". And I hadn't been bowling since about September of last year.
I know szc001 will want to know, so...
Game 1: 134, 3 strikes, 2 spares
Game 2: 119, 2 strikes, 2 spares, 1 split
Game 3: 139, no strikes, 7 spares, but during the sixth frame I was doing well enough that I decided any time I wasn't playing off of a spare I'd do some "trick bowling". I had two frames that qualified where I went up, did a half-split and bowled 'tween my legs. I think I managed to knock down a pin or two on both of those throws...
So, that was my night out. All told I had two Bud Lights and two Miller High Lifes.
