THOUGHTS AND MUSINGS HONORING SURFACEY CONVERSATIONS, FAMILY, AND THE EXCRUCIATING MINUTIAE OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Life In The Fast Lane (With Bumpers)

Jonas, Nick and I went bowling from 4-6pm for the "all you can bowl glow-in-the-dark bowling" special.
We bowled four games. I won all four. I rule.

More importantly than my winning streak:

1. When we arrived we were placed in a lane next to a mom and her young daughter. The mom started talking with me - then kinda flirting. After I told her that my wife and older son couldn't make it today, she backed off. My next line of defense was, "This is not a single parent party," but I didn't have to use it. Apparently, I've still got it - or maybe it was my two-dollar shirt.

2. After she left (probably in tears), the woman who arrived next was wearing a white shirt. On the back of it, there were three spots that had to be blood stains, as if she had been shot in the back. I tried to think of other options besides blood, but failed. She said "woo hoo" a lot, which may or may not be related to the bloody shirt.

3. Jonas picked off a split. And did a little dance of success.

4. Nick told me (twice) that he could control the ball as it went down the lane with his eye.

Fun time with fun boys - very cool.

I love bowling!! My Grandmother used to be a champion bowler... but then she quit because she didn't like all the smoke.. now she plays golf... which I think is more appropriate for an old lady.

I brag about beating kids at games requiring manual dexterity, too.
