Six weeks is too long a time between blog posts and two weeks is too long a time between bowling sessions. The league had its first week of the second season yesterday and I feel as though I have carpal tunnel as I type this entry. I was eagerly anticipating the re-start of the bowling season as I was able to get over 200 pins during the final game (complete with Tebowing) before the holiday break. This was one of the life goals I had determined for myself after listening to the motivational speaker, Dan Thurmon. It didn’t take long before my hope devolved into resignation, then into despair, and finally into “DAMMIT!”
Last night, we were able to win the first game, but got our collective asses handed to us in the second, and less so in the third. The Gutter Snipes will start the second season with a 2 – 5 record; not a particularly strong start from our third place showing in the first half, just eight wins from first place, four from second, and 3 above fourth.
This was just the first week of 15, so we have plenty of time. I did get my named mentioned in the list of “High Game Handicap – Men” with a 275, so I’ve got THAT going for me.
The high-low range of games and series for me are 223 – 95 and 509 – 368.
