Gutter Balls

My boyfriend and I went bowling tonight, just the two of us. We showed up at a crowded bolling alley to find dozens of disappointed Bengals fans (we lost; it was lopsided). A lane was available only after a twenty minute wait. Now, we had never bowled together, so neither knew what to expect. I'm proud to report that I won the first game, with a grand total of 71 points. I lost the second game, even though I got 76 points--my boyfriend got almost twice as many points.

It was a nice change of pace from our usual evenings--movies, games, computers--in that it challenged our coordination and strength more than our minds. Actually, that would be pretty cool: controlling a bowling ball with my mind. Maybe I could even break 100!

Next time you go bowling, you should take my little guy. There are few things more entertaining than a three-year-old bowling. :)

Hee, I bet! I told my grandma my score, she (to whom I can usually do no wrong) said, "That's pathetic!" I bet at 90 yrs old she could still get a better score than I could...
