Today’s practice was definitely better than the one I had last week. In my mechanics work, I had several excellent shots, and, if I was going for score, it would’ve been a good deal over my average save for a couple of open frames. In the corner pin part of practice, I only missed a couple again, but I didn’t think I missed them by very much. As I noticed the 8 pin was only sporadically going in the rack during my corner pin practice, I asked to be moved to an adjacent lane for the game I wanted to score in. It was a good one…a 212 w/ only a “Woolworth” (5-10 split) in the 10th frame keeping it from being clean.
Tony Attardo was in the building as I arrived for practice, and I learned from Marcia at the control desk that he had had a 300 in his own practice. Talking with Tony before that, however, I learned about a surprise related to one of my teammates that I think I’ll just keep under my hat until Wednesday night.
