Hello, friends - Made a lot of progress this past week. Bowling was mediocre - I've done better; I've done worse. Not much to say here. Was right around my average. Toastmasters has had some interesting developments. I got elected as president of two local clubs and will be working... Continue reading

Hi, everyone - More good news. Some of my efforts are paying off more than I thought they may. On Wednesday bowling, I averaged about 150 per game and brought my average up to 148. Still a tiny bit lower than I was at the end of the summer leagues,... Continue reading

Hello, friends - Tonight was tremendous. First, I got a new library card and checked out a novel to read - Jane Eyre, by famous Victorian author Charlotte Bronte. I read the book a couple of times in college and wanted to reconnect with my English major roots. I'll check... Continue reading

Tonight was week 1 of the Wild Summer Mixers summer league. And I did okay. The league meets at the Inca Lanes in Yuma. It's a nice place. Check it out if you are in the area. We established our averages tonight and I did a tiny bit better than... Continue reading
