Hmmm, that is a very interesting point. I guess I can't be upset since I do not put any money into the BPAA, as far as I know.

I would be upset if I were a BPAA member though. Why make it a political nightmare?

Thank you so much for the comment. It definitely changes the tone of my thoughts somewhat.

Bowl Expo is a BPAA event and has nothing to do with USBC.

Hi Mike,

Everything depends on your release being very consistent. Your release affects your positive axis point (PAP) and your PAP dictates how you should drill the ball.

Watch Talk Bowling episode #15 for some more information about your PAP.

hello , I have questions in my mind about the counter wieghts in the ball and how they affect the hook on the ball and if it matters how you drill the ball with different core wieghts. I have a storm furious and just cant make it hook like it should. I think it could be the wy it was drilled ,or not . could be me , bu ti need to know this. I am not very experienced bowler , sometimes it does and most times it just has back end motion . thank you fo ryour time …….mike

Hi Uncle John,

Sorry I haven't been on lately because I have some pretty important stuff going on in school. I had a D in reading but I have already brought it up to a high B. The thing that makes me laugh is that the words above are the words we are learning in school. 8th grade is very difficult. I think that my best subject right I now is math and I have always been good in math. Reading isn't the best even know I have a B and Language Arts isn't the best either. I have a High C in that class. But I am trying to bring up my grade's. Well I will see you on my birthday or if you see you before that like for my graduation for the 8 grade. It is on june 10th so I better see you there. I love you lots and will talk to you soon. OMG TTYL

BYY!!! Reply..( I like talking on here its free unlike a cell phone. lol)

I was scratching my head too. If I went it would be to protest.

Heyllo,

I sure hope that you feel better. A lot of people I know are sick. Aunt Jacki is just getting over being sick.

I'm happy that you had fun at your chorus concert. What type of music are you singing?

And I am not #@… I am ##, You should know that.

Ok, I can give you the definition of two of those words, I think. I promise, no cheating. I am going to look them up after I finish this message.

1) Gerrymander: I do not know. I have seen this word before, just don't remember the definition.

2) Delineate – To draw a line or distinction between two things. (I think)

3) Omnipresent – All knowing. God.

Aunt Jacki (no e) and I love you too! TTYL

Heyllo,

Nice word, I like it.

I would strongly recommend looking up words in a dictionary when you don't know what they mean. It will help you grow a bigger vocabulary. When something is "manifested" it is made obvious or clear. And what I mean by that was, just because boys are often told "Real men don't cry" doesn't mean that will keep the emotion away. The real emotion is often revealed through anger (or another emotion) instead of tears.

I talked to Nana, and she says that I was a very emotional boy. What I told her is that may be true, but we are raised by more than just our parents. We venture out into the world with friends and other people that are part of our lives. We may learn "Real men don't cry" or other socially unacceptable things in many ways, not just from our parents.

As for your chorus concert, that is AWESOME. I wish I would have known sooner so that we could make arrangements to come down there. We definitely hope that you do GREAT, I am sure you will.

Good job on your Interim report, I am sure that you are very proud. I am sure that you will turn that C around now that you know about it. That is the good thing about Interim reports, they show you where you need to improve. They are not your final grade.

Aunt Jacki and I love you very much. Tell Johnny and Mommy that we love and miss them too. We can't wait to see you all again.
