So, probably not too surprisingly, my early Xmas gift from me to me this year is a new bowling ball. I only have five. This entailed a 100-mile drive to CT to get it and get it drilled from someone who has 30+ years of experience.
Aside from the weird road trip drama of getting there (to protect the innocent), we did have a great lunch at Rein's and arrived at the center around 3 PM.
It was mobbed because of a full house league (40 lanes) who were EXTREMELY NOISY. Not good. Then we had to wait and wait and wait.
I was the last to get fit, etc. But I ended up with a new ball, a weird drilling, and now I have to actually learn to bowl with the dang thing by Monday night.
It's like carrying a 15 pound suitcase that's spherical. BUT it does rev, does rotate, and does arc.
We'll see how this works.
Meanwhile for my efforts, I caught a cold. Bleah.
Meanwhile why the jealousy? One of the other people on the trip was a 16-year old girl with a 200+ average (house pattern). After she got her ball she proceeded to bowl a 770 series.
Despite being very likable, I WANT to hate her. :-) Nah - I really hope she gets a ton of scholarship money for college.
