I'll get the bowling scores out of the way first: 136, 187, 123. Ick. I just couldn't avoid splits in that first game (I had four), and in the third, I couldn't have bought a spare. And we lost all three games (if either of my two missing teammates had left us declared scores, we might have won at least two of them ( Read more... )

On my way to bowling tonight, I decided to walk to the bus stop in order to retrace my steps and see if I could spot the ring I lost - no joy ( Read more... )

First, the bowling scores: 168, 135, 177. Those first and third games sound all right, but they were a struggle (as indicated by my second game score). In fact, in the third game I needed 104 over the last five frames to get there ( Read more... )

Since I haven't posted in a week, and it's been a bit busy, I'll put each paragraph behind a cut...

I improved on last week's scores to set a new high for this season: 169, 229, 180. I started the second game with five consecutive strikes, and had momentary visions of a perfect game. I guess I jinxed myself. :( (My record to start a game is eight consecutive strikes, and I'd finished the previous game with three in a row - a perfect game requires ( Read more... )

Tonight's scores: 185, 167, 180. I didn't have my best game of the year, but overall, my series total of 532 was the highest so far. And even better, we won all three games. Going into tonight, we were fourth in the league - I meant to check how far behind the third-place team we were before I left, but forgot ( Read more... )

I don't know why it's so warm in here right now. I haven't had the A/C on in a few weeks, but it wasn't that warm out today, or even that sunny. Weird ( Read more... )

I did much better tonight, matching my best week of the season to date: 173, 201, 151. I have no idea how I got that 151 in the third game, though - I only had 65 after the first five frames, and I didn't think I finished that well. I embarrassed myself slightly in the tenth frame, though - we were down by something like seven pins, the other team ( Read more... )

First things first - tonight's scores: 157, 192, 156. I thought I was bowling decently until I got my scorecard out to record my scores at the end of the night, and discovered that this was actually my second-worst week of the season so far. I lost a fraction of a pin off my average, but it's still holding at 170. And we lost two games, including ( Read more... )
