July 22 outing with brother

With a birthday in the family today, my brother and I got my shopping out of the way last night and went bowling afterward. It was not a usual outing, because the lanes were hooking more than normal, and I was having problems getting even my new Tropical Breeze to hold pocket. I eventually had to loft it to have a chance, and I usually wasn’t lofting it enough. Still, I wasn’t leaving many tough spares (just one split), and made most of the easy ones, so I had two games (my last two) around my average with the other one being on the low end of the reasonable range, which I told my brother I was glad to take on lanes that weren’t optimally scoring for me. My brother had one game over what I think is his average.
