    Week 3, Newcomers...1/11/08

    Hey All!

           Well, another week has come and gone and on Friday, I regressed a little bit, but nothing too drastic. Coming in, Group Therapy was 6-2 overall and in 5th place. I was holding steady at 196 for my average and I took a small step backwards on Friday. Luckily, we took 3 out of 4 to improve to 9-3 overall. Here are my scores:

    Game 1: 193  Just a couple pins off my average, but a couple of bad breaks hurt me in the game.

    Game 2: 160  Overall this was a crappy game and I began to commit a carnal sin. I started rotating through my balls, hoping one would work (to no avail).

    Game 3: 207  Settling on my Tropical Storm for game 3 (my logic was that the lanes MUST be dry), I bowled better in the final game. My line was working much better than it was earlier, so I'll take it.

    Series/Average:  560/187 My average should once again hold steady at 196, but I negated the week I had in week 2. Once again, my inability to read the oil patterns did me in. Oh well. Life goes on. I'm already looking forward to next week.

    Till next time...Peace Out!

    Hey Big D,

    What's going on? Sure, we should get together sometime this weekend. Saturday afternoon may be the better day/time for myself. We're (Angel, Al and myself) going to a dog walk charity event Sunday morning/afternoon. Yeah, i'm not giving up on my new Thunderstruck. It has a lot of potential to be my "ace" ball, so to speak. My Total Inferno is my back-up ball. It really doesn't do all that much. That's how I wanted it to perform. I want control of the ball and not vice-versa. Yeah, I believe Kevin did mention his high game with the Inferno. Way to go, Kev'! Say "hi" to Sue and maybe, i'll c'ya all on Saturday. Take care and stay humble with that tasty pie!!!!!! The D'Man, peace out!!!
