SAD -- bowling career is over
34 years in a row I've bowled in at least 1 league until tonite. 1st night of the season and I'm not there and that sucks, I miss it all ready. It's hard to give up something you love doing and doing it for so long.
I've already sent a text message to see how they done. I'll go watch them next Wed. OK I'll quit crying now.

I sympathize with you Lash, I played Men's competitive softball for almost 30 years, but after 4 knee and 3 shoulder surgeries as well as a nasty ankle break, I had to give it up. Tough thing to do, but had to do it for my health. Just keep thinking about all the extra time you have to be fishing now. Won't be long before you and the ol bait monkey become real tight with each other.

It sucks you hung up the Dexters. I bowled in a few leagues for a few years and although I wasn't ever that good I did enjoy it.

Sorry you had to give up bowling. I hope you find something equally fulfilling to take up your free time.

Maybe this post helps explain the Brett Favre situation. It's hard to walk away from an activity you love. I'm sorry to hear about how your having to give up bowling after loving the sport for so many years pal. It will be tough to cheer them on from the sidelines so to speak, but at least you will still be able to be involved. I'm sure it will take time, but you"ll adjust.

Ron, I don't have to tell you there comes a time when you have to rearrange priorities. Like everyone else said though, sorry about it and I am sure you will find something to help fill the void soon.

Sorry, Ron. I know how you feel. I had a hard time coming to grips with giving up golf. My outlet? Buying a boat and enough fishing tackle for 10 men. Hey, whatever works, my friend.
