More Up than down

Last week's bowling was a real downer. Tonight, I thought I really remembered what I was doing. We lost all points last week but won all points this week. Since we were tied with two other teams for first place, I knew we would stay there after tonight. Believe it or not, I bowled a neato 577, with games of 214, 177, and 186. If I had done some math earlier, I could have seen what I needed to break the 600 barrier again. Oh well, we still have a couple months left to bowl.

Stayed home from work yesterday and today because I was sneezing and blowing so much. My nose has finally dried up and I stopped sneezing. Will plan on making up the time at work on Thursday and Friday mornings. The BOSS okayed it.

Getting late. To bed.

Mom:
If you keep that up, you're gonna' have to raise your average. And then your senior citizen discount wouldn't apply when it comes to the handicapping.

I mean, who cares how old a broad she is if her real average is 185?

I am not sure, Ruth, that Mom's average ever was 185. If it were, she'd be on "Bowling with the Champs" on Channel 4.

Seriously, I think her best average was about 167.....

You'd better watch it or she'll drop that 16# bowling ball on your toes...*lol*

I don't know how a septuagenarian can throw that heavy a bowling ball....

Skill...I suspect....

Peggy: I used the subjunctive tense, "if" her average is 185. Perhaps said bowler can clear this up. Mom: What was your highest average? Highest game? Highest series?

to settle any arguments....my best average ever was 180, but that was only for a few weeks until I came back down to earth and bowled my usual way. The best game I ever bowled was 276!!! I was in a real daze. After Tuesday night's three games, my average was raised 3 points so now it is 150. The ball still weighs 16 pounds unless some of it has been worn off over these 50 plus years of using it.
I would have to look through years of records to find out what my highest series was, though I know it is over 600 because I am a member of the 600 Cluob of Columbus.
