One Whuppin, Delivered

It was the first position round tonight at bowling league. After the last 3 weeks of victories, we were tied for 3rd with that team of ringers, although we were ahead in total pins. So we played them tonight, and gave them 12. And then we preceded to destroy them. We won all 3 games handily, by 46, 85, and 117 pins.

I bowled pretty well, going 185 for the first game and 211 for the second, and was striking really well into the 3rd game. Then I threw the ball wrong and bruised my thumb. Man, that hurts. So I switched to my lighter ball, but the damage was done, and I finished with a 158. But I went one on one with their super bowler, the kid who grew up in the bowling alley. I matched him strike for strike more than halfway through each game, and was actually ahead of him for 8 frames of game 2. But he struck out the last 3 frames, jumping from a 145 in the 7th to finish with a 235, against my 211. He’s that good, and is the anchor and then some for that team. But tonight he just couldn’t put it together. But we could. I could. I did, and I could see it driving him crazy. And that makes it all worth it.

So, does this 4 week run of victories, 26-2, lock us into 2nd for the finals next week? I’m not really sure. I think we may have to play these guys again next week, battling it out for 3rd place. But we’re up 7 points and lots of pins, so if we do have to do that, and we win even one game, then it’s a lock. And maybe, if we stomp them again, we can sneak into 2nd. That would be nice, not that there is a trophy or any real difference in prize money. It’s all rinky-dink, cuz it’s summer league. Still, it’s nice to come out ahead in the end.

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.
