Having a day

For the first time in a while, I had a very good day in a regular practice session, as I had a 673 series, which was highlighted by a 253 first game in which I had the front 6. I’m stinging myself for not being a better spare shooter today, though, as a missed 9 pin and a couple of missed “buckets” (the 2-4-5-8 leave for right-handers) prevented me from bowling my first 700 series, albeit unofficially. Bev printed out the score sheets for me, but I didn’t take them, as the series didn’t beat anything. I did tell the control desk people to show the sheet to Ray when he comes in tonight, however.

There was a moment of levity in the practice, too: I can no longer laugh at Chris Barnes leaving the “sour apple” (the 5-7-10 split) on a pocket hit, a la the World Tenpin Masters, as I’ve now left the split on a pocket hit myself. Oh well, at least I can laugh at myself for leaving it now! 😆
