It wasn't an auspicious start.
My first ball sliced three pins (4,7,8) and my second ball headed straight for the gutter. At the end of the first game, I narrowly scraped past 100 (120-ish?). My ball was going left and right... Anywhere but straight. I couldn't aim to save my life. I couldn't convert spares. Basically, I sucked.
My second game saw me play a lot more consistently. I had several strikes and made a few spares. I ended that game with 156.
I really need to go buy a new bowling ball to replace the one that broke so many years ago, back when I was living at Doxey Court (when was that? 1998?). I think it was a 12 pound Columbia 300. It was grey I believe.
When I lived in Singapore, Dad, Mum, Jo and I used to go bowling almost every weekend at Hougang bowl. We had our own ball and shoes. When I came here to the States for college, I even brought my ball.
Well, I've been trying to lead a more active lifestyle, so maybe bowling would be a nice fit? Yeah, it will be nice to buy a ball and pick up bowling again.

Try scrabbles; you won't have a bowling ball falling on your toes.
True, but it's considered bad form to throw stuff when you're playing scrabble ain't it?
