Bowling

Despite the inclement weather last night (more snow!) our staff ventured to Oshkosh Lanes to do some bowling. We had been planning for a few weeks, but some staff members had things that came up the last few weeks. So, yesterday was the day.

I actually had a good night bowling. I bowled a 137 my first game and a 156 my second game. I had a lot more focus that night than I have had in previous bowling opportunities. I don't bowl much anymore. I used to bowl a lot. That could attributed to the following factors:

• I used to go to a graduate school that had a national champ bowling team. This meant they had good facilities.
• Bowling in the Union only cost $1.50. Sometimes it was free if you knew the right people.
• I had more free time in graduate school.
• I had a really good friend who also liked to bowl.
• It was a good stress reliever.

In Oshkosh, bowling is expensive and the alleys smell like smoke. I don't have as much free time as I'd like. I will need to figure out how to feed this old habit.
