Blogging Break

I won’t be around much for the next two or three days. I’ve got a nice big window job over on the other side of the state. So I’ll be off making money ... which will flow right through my checking account and out the other side to pay some bills. That’s life!

Since I’ll be getting up around 5am tomorrow to be on the job site well before 7am, and I’ll probably be working until 6:30, then trying to zoom back across the state in time to vote in the primary ... I won’t be bowling this week on my Tuesday night summer league. Instead I went and pre-bowled this afternoon. And I took a pretty big chance: I used a “new” ball without throwing any practice games with it. But it isn’t completely new, just suddenly different. Even after I had it resurfaced, my Ebonite Total NV was still going really long, so I had the alley guy drill a balance hole in it. A balance hole can actually be more like an “unbalance hole”, because it takes a bit of weight off the lighter side of the ball, which makes the heavy side relatively heavier, which makes it hook more. [ While bowling balls are round, they are not evenly balanced. These days they have computer designed weight blocks in them, which gives the ball an asymmetric balance ... which means it turns to the inside when you roll it. And if you put a bit of turn on it yourself when you roll it ( what bowlers call “rev” ) then it’s going to turn quite abruptly at some point in it’s roll. You want that to happen! ] So I took 4 practice throws with this ball, 2 per lane, and got 4 strikes in a row. Good enough! So I did my pre-bowling with the NV, and threw 182-226-198 for a 606. Which means I threw my 2nd 600 series in a row, after last week’s 660. Which I have never, ever, never done before. Pretty cool I think. And, since last week’s series shot my average up to 183, my hope is that this 19 over average, on average, series will be enough of a boost so that my team can beat the other team this week, in at least 2 of the 3 games. We’re playing that group of drunken college girls, back for another year of boys, booze, and bowling. And even though they are quite cute they still rather suck, which is why my team is giving them a 179 pin handicap, even though we have a vacant position on our team.  Go team!

In other toothsome news, I never thought it was possible for any of these “internet models” to do their schtick, sans fabrique total, and not lose their innocence. I think I’ve been proven wrong. Yum. Talk about cute! It doesn’t get much better than this.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
