Well that was certainly different.
Got in our make up bowling last night. Now I wonder why we bothered. We all stunk, no body made their averages for the night, and some of us missed them by spectacular amounts. (90 freakin pins!!) Went and saw the guy in the pro shop. He insists the lanes are being conditioned the same as last year. I insist they are different � oil gutter to gutter and a thicker layer to boot. He says there�s nothing outside the 5 board. I looked. It�s greased alllll the way out. (You can see the oil pattern if you can catch some reflected light just right. Not difficult to do really) League secretary, who also works at the lanes, says the oil will be as I suspected � a lot heavier, a lot wider, a lot more often.
Anyhow, the pro-shop guy & I are negotiating both what my new ball should be and how it should be drilled. I�ve bowled with the guy before, so he knows my bowling style. That�ll help. I�m thinking of taking a half day Thursday, stopping by his shop and getting a new ball drilled up, then spending an hour or so Thursday afternoon getting used to it.
One thing I noticed last night � my thumb has gotten much smaller. I was having trouble with the grip all night long. New ball will cure that for sure. New cover stock and new weight block will cure the roll and hooking issues. It�s going to be like Christmas.
Cindy got stuck in a meeting last night from 5 � 10:30 pm. They were interviewing candidates for the principal of the school she�s secretary for. In essence, she was one of several people interviewing her potential future boss. She wasn�t looking forward to the process - 5+ hours, not getting paid, not even getting a meal out of it. Can�t say as I blame her for not looking forward to it for those reasons, but it sure would be nice to have some input on who your next boss was going to be.
I�m going to stop with the predicting when I�m going to confess about the whole Al Anon meeting thing. It�s obvious I have no clue. Between waiting for her to be sober & receptive and me not wanting to spoil those same rare moments � it could take years. Of course, this could also be related to my whole conflict avoidance desires. (Except in sports. Man, I�ll go toe to toe with someone in the name of athletic competition � but then I�m kinda good at a lot of sports too � it�s a confidence thing maybe.)
So maybe tonight, maybe a year from now. I don�t know. As long as I get to slink out of the house Sunday nights for the meetings. Hmmm, what would The Red Squirt do?
Horrible workout this morning. Should have been an off day, but I feel like I�ve been slacking lately. Since there was no aerobics last night and I skipped weights to get to a meeting yesterday morning, I figured I�d get in for some work this morning. Weights were ok, cardio was just one big struggle. Legs felt like mush. Stopped after only 20 minutes. Was running a little late too, so it wasn�t all bad, saving 10 minutes like that, but it�s still disappointing.
Tomorrow�s to do list:
Skip tomorrow mornings workout
Get to work early, toil in the mine
Take a half day
Hit up the gym for a leisurely pm workout
Off to the pro shop, get the new ball fit
Practice with the new ball.
Bowl in the league.
It�s a plan
