Does anyone else here bowl?

I used to bowl a few times a year but that was a long time ago. Now I might get out once every 4 years or so, so I wont even tell you what my scorring average is, hahahahaha. I do know this...every time I bowl my ball throwing arm feels like a pice of cooked pasta when I'm done.

This year's event is now in the books. I had 99 people who made a pledge this year, and I bowled a 188 during the event to raise another $2852.00 for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southern MN. That brings my 24-year total to approximately $46,000.00 raised.

One of my friends and co-workers who was a dedicated sponsor for me passed away from cancer 3+ years ago at the age of 43. In his honor I have been donating $1 per pledge each year since then to the MN Make-A-Wish foundation. This year I bumped it to $2/pledge, so now I have donated over $500 in his memory to this organization.

Awesome -- WAY TO GO! I am happy to roll a 600 once a year. Season #25 for me starts the second week in October.

Thanks guys. A 600 is my goal each week but the 700 seems it took forever to arrive.
