Bowling

Tim and I have started bowling in a summer league. Last Friday was our first day and today our second, and we’re in a team with Tara and Jim. They unfortunately were not able to bowl last week as Jim became ill during the introductory meeting and they had to go home, but this week they were there to bowl with us. However, this week Tim’s knee started hurting so he didn’t bowl the third game. But maybe next week everyone will be able to bowl all three games. Bowling with these big balls is challenging for me since I got used to candlepin in Boston, where you use balls that weigh just over 2 pounds. For now I’m using a 10 pound ball, and that’s working out well enough. I’ve still only bowled a handful of times with these big balls and am still trying to figure out how to do it better or at least with some consistency. But it’s fun even when the scores aren’t so good, and the company is great. My scores have been very varied, but I think over time I’ll start bowling better and my scores will even out. At least each week I seem to top my previous high score, so that’s a start. Here are my scores so far:

Last week: 104 - 122 - 97

This week: 153 - 77 - 97

The 153 I got today is my best score ever, and last week when I got the 122 that was my best score up until that point. Maybe next week I’ll get another high score!
