long live gutter guards

Scenes from bowling.

The scorekeepers. Alternatively dubbed, "The boys who pushed all the buttons on the computer and made our screen turn black. Twice."

The lightest ball that they had available was six pounds. Our children still nearly collapsed under the weight of it.

What I loved most about this adventure is the dance Henry would do every time he bowled the ball.

What I loved second most is gutter guards. Because of those fantastic contraptions that block off the entire length of the gutter and would facilitate the most phenomenal ricochets, for the first time since I can't remember when … I broke 100. Please note, I bowled the only strike during the entire game. Not Charlie.

ME.
