It should be said that, while I like bowling and the people I know from bowling, I don’t usually bowl with people I know from bowling outside of leagues and tournaments. Keeping that in mind, I got an opportunity to change that yesterday when one of my winter league mates, Missy Damas, sent out an invitation to her friends on Facebook to join her for bowling this morning. I took her up on it, and we were joined by Mary-Ellen Labelle, my former winter league treasurer.
Renting a pair of lanes for two hours, we had time for four games, and, not being a morning person, I started very slowly, actually having the low game on the pair with a 124. I did improve with each game, however, making an unconventional move after going light by actually moving in and going to my Fast after starting out with the Tropical Breeze. My last game was my best, in the 190s, but Missy had the high game each of my four games; I don’t consider that a disgrace, however, as Missy would be one of the better female bowlers in the Westgate Mixed league if she was still in that league (her real bowling friends, or at least the ones she considers her real ones, bowl in my league).
