Roling Along

Another night at Fun League, another 7 point smash for us.

Not bad for a team with a permanent vacancy.

I did Ok. Best game was a 224 in Game 2, pretty much a game of spares with a 4 bagger thrown in. Always best to close all the frames! And it coulda/woulda/shoulda been in the 240s, because I threw 8-0 in the 10th. Still having problems with the right corner. Game 1 was a 201, Game 3 came in in the 180s so I was just a hair under 600 again. I’m happy with that, given that I’m still carrying a 175 average. Teammate John threw a 266 in Game 1, which was 8 X in a row to open. Those are always great.

We took the first game by 25 and the second game by 12, so our margin was only 37 for the third game. For most of the game we watched them eat up our handicap and simply outbowl us. We figured if we could rally we could hold onto wood for 5, 2+2+1. Well, we rallied, they stumbled, and by the time I had finished my 10th their anchor could tie us if he threw a perfect 40 and our anchor threw only 4 or less. Our anchor struck twice, theirs opened, so we put Game 3 in the bag and said good night.

At the very least this moves us up one slot in the standings. Our opponents tonight were 1 place ahead of us, by a single point. We’ve reached that point in the season where the top teams have opened up a chasm 2 weeks wide over the lower teams. ( This is why I always push for 2 semester length “seasonettes” instead of 1 32 week endless season. ) We were the bottom team of the top chunk, with about 10 points separating the whole pack. We’ll move up a bit, sure, but we were the only two top teams playing each other last night, so the night was really just for widening the chasm.

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.
