So my brother has been wanting to go bowling ever since he got here, pretty much. He reminds us every week that we should go, and we are always either too busy or too tired to actually do it. But we finally got ourselves there and it was great. I was mostly excited that the shoes and ball sort of matched my outfit. But I also got one of my highest scores (142) and got to practice my victory dance a lot.

At least I have gotten better over the years. When I was about 18, I was out bowling with some friends and of course I had been running my mouth – talking about how great my Mom was at bowling. She was the Amateur Bowler of the Year in her bowling league. She consistently got good scores. She would become a legend in her own right. For sure I would follow in her footsteps and do pretty well! That fateful night, I got a 23. You did not mis-read that. I bet most of you didn’t even know it was possible to get a score of 23. But it definitely is. I have done it. I remember being pretty embarrassed and I don’t know that I will ever really live that one down! But maybe I’m some kind of legend too – just not the kind you want to be…
