Six years have now passed since that bowling outing with my brother that started my new bowling life. I won’t say too much except that, in the past year, my purchase of a smartphone expanded what I could do in terms of content, including more video and my first “live” blog from my winter league’s rolloff. Performance-wise, it was a sort of a downer, but I still proved myself capable of a big night a couple of weeks or so ago with a 706.
By happy coincidence, another major life event happened one year ago, as my family confirmed the identity of the person I now call my big sister. I need to note that my niece, who bowls, does so in Special Olympics, due to what was found this year as a rare genetic disorder. I wish I could volunteer in her program, but, where she bowls out of Taunton, travel to her events is difficult. I do hope to support Special Olympics financially however I can.
In closing, I’ll just say thank you to everyone who has and still support me; it is you who keep me going.

I meant to also mention that I won my second virtual league title during the winter session. What I do in the virtual league can be as important in my mind as what I do in my real league because of the friends I have made on the bowling forum site. 🙂
By way of a correction, my niece actually practices at East Providence Lanes; it is the trials for her team for the Massachusetts Special Olympics state games that takes place in Taunton.
Another thing I need to mention here that happened in my 6th year back was having met two of my bowling heroes, Parker Bohn III (last September) and Norm Duke (back in April at Town Line).
