..."and that's me kicking your ass!"

What an awful night...for the whole league. For starters, on a much more positive note, my pal from last week didn't come back. That, my friends, is a good thing. He was probably home crying over me catching him cheat. And to top it all off, I've heard from other bowlers in the league of other incidents of cheating on his part. Therefore, if he doesn't come back next week, good riddance to bad rubbish.

But the lanes really did kick my ass last night. Airway's management has a tendency to allow the place to get hot, creating an approach that can best be described as velcro. And last night it was the heavy duty stuff...nobody could slide. And when I can't get a good slide going, my timing gets off and my ball goes everywhere. Therefore, I managed, on the stickiest lanes ever, a 293. Personally, I consider that score a victory after seeing some other people were so far under their averages. Oh well, there's always next week.

Mason's Bowling Center, here I come. Should be a great night...can't wait! If you're up in the Leominster area, stop by and say, "hi!"
