A li'l bit o' bowling
I went bowling by myself today. This was a first for me, I don't mind doing things by myself, but bowling was intimidating.
I bowled quite a bit when I was a kid. My parents put me in a junior league when I was around eight years old, Bantam Bowlers. I wasn't that good, at least not that I remember. I did receive a bunch of trophies, I think they were usually for Most Improved.
Ended up that bowling alone was not scary at all, it was fun. I talked to the people bowling next to me. They were probably in their 60s and just started bowling. I have my own ball, this makes me look better than I am. I had so much fun though, and actually improved as the games went on, that I decided I'm going to start going weekly. Maybe I'll get good enough to join a league.
I went online today and found some shoes that match my ball for only $30, so I bought them. Renting shoes is $3.50, so those would be paid for quickly. It's only $2 a game at the bowling alley down the street from me before 5pm.
