    Bowling: First Night of League 

    I bowl on the Thursday Night Men’s League at AMF Deltona Lanes.  Last night was our first night of league, and I was excited to be back.

    Sometimes I wish I was a little more social.  I enjoy hanging out with my team, but I am not outgoing enough to go up to other people and talk to them.  It’s a shame, because I am friendly, and in the right mix, can be very outgoing.

    Enough about that.  The first night of bowling itself start out amazing.   I just drilled my new [bowlingball value="6303"/] and really bowled well with it.  Even though there were a couple of small mistakes I made during drilling, it still reacted fine.

      I'm excited about bowling again too. My 2 leagues start next week. I did a 4 week "warmup" league over the past month that I hope worked out all the kinks created by taking the summer off. I too suffer from being a little anti-social at the bowling center, but I'm working on it. Just wanted to let you know I'm also an IT Admin that's big into bowling. I like what you're doing with the site and enjoy your Twitter posts, etc. Keep up the good work.

      I do primarily LAN Administration (Windows desktops with Windows & Linux servers) as well as end user hardware/software/printing support for 5 sites. I wish I knew more about programming. I'd love to put together a site or at least a podcast that's bowling industry related, but I just don't have the time to commit to it. Maybe soon, I'll start a personal blog or something. If I think of any improvement ideas for your site, I'll pass them along. I'm mrvaj on Twitter by the way. Have a good holiday weekend.

      Hi John! Love the blog!
      My dad and I bowl together in a Tuesday night trio league. I think this is our 4th or 5th year doing it. I bowled when I was very young and then started up again about 5 years ago. I can't explain how much I enjoy spending time with my dad at the lanes every week. it's a magical place, at least in my mind. :-)

      Last year, I bowled WAY too good the first week of league. I had a 725. It was my highest series of the entire season and our team had no handicap all year so we struggled. This year I'm trying to pace myself. Started out with a 561 and had a 635 this week. I usually end up averaging around 202 or 203 by the end of the year. So does Dad!

      I am also in IT, I'm a Network Administrator. Basically me and another guy support about 400 people, doing everything from configuring routers to fixing printers.
      Good to find your blog, and thanks for stopping by mine too. Keep us posted on your league progress.

      Take Care,
      -Chad

    First Night of League Canceled 

    Well, I was all amped up for our first night of league. However it was closed because of Tropical Storm Fay. What an annoying little storm this is.

    It has not effected me too much personally, beside knocking down part of my fence. But it just dumping a ton of water and flooding some parts of the state.

    I guess I will have to wait until next Thursday to write about the [bowlingball value="6303"/].

    Bowling League Starts Tonight 

    Well it’s been a long summer. I decided not to bowl for one summer.

    Tonight is the first night of league bowling at Deltona Lanes. I have been looking forward to getting back to bowling for a little bit now. It’s nice to have a dedicated night to hang out and have a little fun.

    Sure it can be frustrating if you are not having a good night, but all-in-all I usually have fun. This has never been more true since my wife went golfing with me. She saw my mental break down when I was playing a bad round and decided to talk to me. She helped me see the problems I was causing, not only for myself, but the people that were in our group. Ever since then, my bowling and golf have been dramatically improved.
