Bowling…

 

1. Anybody can get lucky on the lanes. Throw the ball generally towards the middle of the pins from as much angle as you can at the foul line and you can strike. Roll the ball down the middle of the lane and you can strike. All sorts of atypical hits can cause a strike, including the off center ones that make the pins fall like dominoes.

   I don’t think any of us were aware you had a new wife. Um, congratulations?

2. Sorry, never happened to me. I don’t play round ball sports (golf, tennis, baseball, bowling, etc).

3. The question is Christopher, can you get a strike with your eyes open.

   Congrats on the new family.  Many well wishes for you.

4. Didn’t say it was a new wife/family. I’ve just been encouraged to tell old stories. A couple of old friends want me to tell old stories and publish them. They think my book would be better than either of Barack’s. Especially since I’ve got all kinds of stories from my Navy days.

   The sad thing is that the bowling alley we did this at is now a vacant field. Oh, the wife and I still bowl occasionally, at the VA. I still have a very slight win/loss over her, but she’s getting pretty damn good.

   And don’t get me started on pool: yeah, I won the first two times. She said ‘how come you don’t let me play much?’ I usually played her son, but she kicks my @ss most times since. She also kicks most of the other guys’ @ss, which means free beers and she keeps the table. She says she learned pool from her first (deceased) husband. Well, she learned it somewhere, because all of my geometry doesn’t work anymore. She just knows where and how to shoot.
