Strikes, Spares & Splits

One bowler's thoughts on life, love and anything else that might pop into his head.

I don't believe it!

I just watched my copy of last week's SNL and watched the Lawrence Welk sketch. Funny? Oh yes. Surprising...you betcha! I'm shocked that SNL actually ran a sketch lampooning Lawrence Welk! Holy cow, I'm old.

Could you please feed me my mush and wipe my chin? Thanks...

Who is this guy, anyway?

Bruce: Born in Northampton, MA, raised in Boston and Easthampton, MA, Bruce has been called one of the loudest and nuttiest candlepin bowlers around. Bruce is currently entering a program to gain CT licensure to teach special education students, fulfilling a desire to enter a field he's been interested in for several years. Being a huge Red Sox fan, he's still celebrating the 2004 and 2007 World Championships--when he thought he'd never see the day the first one would arrive...and he's still angry that the NHL stole his team (go Whale!). All in all, though, he's fashioned as a fairly good guy. Bruce counts among his many quirky traits, unconventional amateur philosophy, a warped sense of humor, typical "old time" congregationalist/unitarian universalist free thinking, a staunch "lefty liberal" progressive political worldview, a ' very different' sense of what is morally right and wrong (when compared to that of the 'real world') and the notion that there's a real purpose to all of these experiences in candlepin bowling...he just hasn't quite figured it out...yet.
