I haven’t bowled on a league since I was 14 or so, but I’ve always loved bowling. I just don’t get to do it that often. Yesterday I returned to church after a many-week absence (work…) and happened to see in the bulletin that there was a new league starting up Monday (last night). I spoke to the coordinator and all was then set. We had our preparatory meeting last night, assigning teams, electing officers and whatnot. (It is amusing that officers an by-laws are needed for a bowling league, but such is life.)
So now I am the captain of a team which currently has no name. We are simply team #6, which actually has a nice ring to it… Seriously, we need a name, so if anyone has any suggestions, I’m open. It needs to be clean since this is a church league.
So, how did I bowl? I’m glad you asked. The first game was a bit shaky. I was using a too-heavy ball, but I got that adjusted about half-way through. The problem then was that while the weight was good, the finger holes were either too tight, and my fingers stuck, or the grip was too wide. I settled on the too-wide-grip ball, but ended up with a blister on my thumb. (I have a ball here somewhere, I just have to find it.) My second game was better and my third game was one of the highest scores I’ve ever had.

The team we bowled against only had one member present, so the night went really quickly. Many times as soon as I finished bowling on one lane, it was my turn again on the other, which made for quite a few jokes.
I’m really looking forward to Monday nights.
How about “The Holy Rollers”
(you have probably already thought of that)
