A downer

I had had an achy-all-over feeling most of the weekend, so I was actually thinking about taking today off from practice to rest, but I needed to go into the local SuperCuts (which is nearby Westgate Lanes) for a haircut, so I decided not to go against my Monday practice routine. I had a practice that I felt was a cut below normal (probably because I was still not feeling 100% right), but it did have its moments. I was pulling a lot of shots in mechanics work, but my last shot in that game was dead on, and probably the best of the day. My corner pin work was off, as well, but I did have a shot where I picked the 10 right out of the rack and no other pins, so I was pleased with that. In the last game, bowled for score, I did shoot my league average (and somewhat saving the practice in my mind), but if not for a mental error attempting a 4-7 spare, it would’ve been clean and in the 200s.

Getting the green light: My brother and I had a brief discussion about my finances over the weekend, and, with my health services once again stable (with my “insurance” still picking it up, at least for now), my brother saw no problem with me bowling winter league this season. Therefore, I will inform Donna Bickel, the secretary of the Wednesday night Westgate Mixed League in addition to the Wednesday Summer Mixed League, that I intend to bowl Westgate Mixed when the new season begins. 😀
