Intrepid bowler
A fair night on the lanes tonight. Bowled a 132,155,and175 for a 462 series. Average was 136 so I had to pay a quarter for not beating my average. Only won 1 game tonight but the other team had a superior night. Looking forward to next week. -

Well it was a pretty good night on the lanes tonight. Had scores of 154,124,and146 for a 424 series. An odd thing I noticed in the last few weeks is sub par second games. I been bowling below my average for about four weeks now. Got to fix that. Maybe next week. -

It is a timeless tradition. From Teddy bears to train sets. Barbie dolls to GI Joe. Earrings to turntables. XBox to Ipads. For adults,particularly the ( Read more... ) -
September 12, 2001
It's the day after and ... and ..., nothing. I'm like most everyone else, still trying to comprehend the events of the previous day. The four W's(Who, What, Where, Why) are swirling around.

Donna Summer
Talk about your 8-track perspective. If I still had my collection, Donna Summer would command an great part of it. Along with Chic, KC & The Sunshine Band, and the Bee Gees, she was one of pillars of the disco movement. Funky, sensual, unique, she was an original in a genre that was as much reviled as it was revered. My favorite album was 1979's " ( Read more... )
