Aug. 18 outing with brother

With my birthday approaching, I took the opportunity to bowl with my brother last night, even though I sort of dislike bowling on back-to-back days. My scores were around average, but my follow-through was the primary point of emphasis, and it even seemed to help with my spare game, because I didn’t miss anything easy until the third game, when I hooked past an 8 pin. Moreover, my 10 pin had been a problem recently, but I left several of them last night, and made every one of them until the very last frame, when I pulled the spare shot; it should be said that a problem caused me to have to call the desk to request to finish out, so I was kind of thrown off by that, as well. My brother, for the record, was about his inconsistent self.
