This is not about what the title sounds like.\u00a0 My friends, Kim and Diane, came up this morning for breakfast and then to bowl a couple of games.\u00a0 See not Thanksgiving turkeys.<\/p>\n
Diane has a new goal in her life.\u00a0 She wants to beat Rich at bowling for at least one game.\u00a0 Today, she was going to try to reach this goal.\u00a0 Last Wednesday, Diane and Rich were bowling after the department bowling outing.\u00a0 Diane wasn’t having such a good day.\u00a0 She decided to challenge Rich to another game.\u00a0 They agreed upon today for that rematch.<\/p>\n
Since Diane was coming up this way, she invited our friend, Kim, to come with her. I haven’t seen Kim in\u00a0a while, so it was a great chance to connect again.\u00a0 Kim is my free spirited friend who loves to travel and do things.\u00a0 I wish I had her energy for getting about.\u00a0 I’ve know Kim for almost 12 years now.\u00a0 It never amazes me how she can pick up at a moment’s notice to go and have fun.\u00a0 She happened to be in town and not scheduled for anything.<\/p>\n
Kim and Diane came by our house before 9:00 this morning.\u00a0 This meant we could go by the Island diner and enjoy a leisurely breakfast.\u00a0 Diane says the place has to be good because it has Island in the name.\u00a0 Here, I thought it was because they knew how to do breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rick, Rich, and I got the usual.\u00a0 Kim went for the simple bacon and eggs while Diane did the Island breakfast wrap with sausage.\u00a0 It looked good and hit the spot before we headed off to Palace Bowl.\u00a0 The parking lot had quite a few cars, but the Sunday morning league was playing down at one end of the lanes.\u00a0 There was no one in for the open bowling.<\/p>\n
We got situated on the lane and Rick put in the names.\u00a0 Dick (Rich) would lead off followed by Di Di (Diane), then Rick and Kimmy P (Kim).\u00a0 The game started slowly and it appeared that Diane and Rich were pretty evenly matched.\u00a0 Rich won the first two games by a couple of pins.\u00a0 There were running pretty much around 135-140.\u00a0 Then the third game, Rich poured it on strong and finished with a 211, which was an all time high for him.<\/p>\n
Now a turkey is 3\u00a0strikes in a row, for those who don’t know bowling.\u00a0 Then Rich got stuffing, which is 4 strikes in a row.\u00a0 He was hot.\u00a0 No cranberries thought (5 in a row).\u00a0 You know, there is a name for just about every combination of bowling strikes.\u00a0 The list is long.<\/p>\n
Rick was just trying to stretch and get back int he swing.\u00a0 He hadn’t really bowled much over the last year.\u00a0 He hit a 107, 126, and then was too tired to reach more than 100 on the third game.\u00a0 Now Rick could be a great bowler, if he practiced more.\u00a0 We want him to join the men’s league with his dad next year.\u00a0 Not sure if that will happen or not.\u00a0 He is expected to get a job when we get back from vacation this summer.\u00a0 That might get in the way of bowling.<\/p>\n
So Diane is on still working on her stretch goal to beat Rich in a game of bowling.\u00a0 I guess we’ll probably be hitting a few more bowling alleys along the way as Diane tries to put a hurt on Rich’s game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Sascha loved the company.\u00a0 She had a greeting for everyone.\u00a0 After we got back, she demanded attention while Rich, Kim, Diane and I were talking in the basement.\u00a0 Rich was showing off his improved bar.\u00a0 Sascha was lying on the couch as Diane was getting her a rub down.\u00a0 Once you start petting Sascha, she refuses to believe that you would ever want to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thanks for coming out guys.\u00a0 We had a great time.\u00a0 Maybe after work one day, Diane, you and Rich can hold another challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
