Bowling and dancing in the dark
So, I went bowling with some of my friends last night. What a blast! I haven't been bowling in years. They turn the main lights off, the laser lights on and play the music really loud. I loved it! So, anyway, considering I haven't bowled in like a 100 years - I did okay. We bowled 4 games, my highest score was 135 and the lowest score was, dare I say, 85. I know, I know. But my hand got tired and that is all I am going to say about that. Well, I didn't realize that the bowling alley doubled as a dance floor, too. I had just as much fun dancing between each frame as I did bowling! Did I mention that I had a blast!?! Throw a ball, do a little dance, throw a ball, do a little dance. I had so much fun. Now comes the funny part...
My friend Andy went to bowl her turn. No biggie, she had been doing this all night, right? Well, she gets ready to throw the ball and the next thing I know, the darn thing is coming backwards as us! She picked up the wrong ball, which was too heavy for her, went to glide the ball down the alley (her words) and ended up throwing the ball the wrong way. Did I mention that it dropped really hard? We all just busted out laughing. It was an extremely funny sight to see! I told her that she was supposed to go the other way, which is down the alley, not backwards trying to kill us! I couldn't stop laughing! So, so, so then during the next game, her friend Miriam gets up to bowl her frame and she does the exact same thing! I yelled "Duck" and ran the other way. We were laughing so hard we could hardly bowl! All of this, of course, was interrupting my dance time. What a riot!
I had the highest score of everyone, which included 2 nine-year olds. But, they gave us a run for our money. Richard bowled a 122 and Matt bowled a 119. This was in the third and fourth games, too. By then, my hand was really giving up on me. Well, we finally finished bowling around 10:30 pm and I got a really great work-out. Do a little bowling, do a little dancing, do a little bowling, do a little dancing. It just doesn't get any better than that!reportwriter
