So Nina and I went bowling again on Memorial Day because we were both too sore to climb Cabezon, which was our original plan. I did well, bowling my best game (159) and best series (386) yet. And I'm getting tired of paying so much for bowling, so I bit the bullet and bought my own shoes. I ordered them from BowlersParadise.com and they were cheaper than the lame-looking ones that they have at the bowling alley in Espanola.
Right now I'm paying something like $1.50 (daytime) and $2.50 (evening) to rent shoes each time I bowl, so in somewhere between 20 and 35 outings I'll have saved enough to pay for the shoes.
I'm really liking the bowling shirt that Nina made me. No photos yet, because the embroidered pocket is still in production. The shirt doesn't really match the shoes I bought, but I guess not matching is sort of the rule in bowling, right?
In dorkier bowling news, the stats script that Brent and I have been working on is now fully operational for individual player stats. Check out the numbers for Brent, Nina, Crystal, Mikki, and Me.
The next step is to implement an online league where we can compete against each other and have leage stats, etc. Coming soon to a website near you.
Those are some hot kicks. My shoes have saved me so much money over the years, especially since they were free hand-me-downs from my dad. This $1/game deal on Sunday mornings here is just too good for me to pass up, so I'll probably go every Sun, assuming I'm not hung over. ;)
