Memorial Day outing

It’s rare that I get to bowl on a holiday Monday, but my brother wanted to spend quality time with me today, and I got out to the lanes as a result. I wouldn’t say I was that happy with the outcome, however. The first game featured my throwing a first-ball gutter ball late that, if it were a strike, would have allowed me to get over 200 (I finished out for a 180). I was better in the second game (a 202), but my spare game was inconsistent in the last game, and I could only manage a game in the 160s. My brother, however, had a last game in the 140s, easily one of his best to date. Tom Hedding, who was working, was watching us on a couple of occasions during our time there, and I told my brother of Tom’s exploits in the youth league (the 300 games).
