Not Quite Sober
official stats and write-up for
Week 2
February 14, 2002
After coming off a strong start like last
week, we knew it couldn't last long. Jason
and I both purchased new
bowling balls, which are drilled with the fingertip-style grip. I
didn't get my ball until Wednesday, so I really didn't have a chance to
get used to the new style, and my scores certainly reflect a drastic
change in approach. Adding to my woes, I apparently grew an extra 7
inches, because I fouled no less than SIX times over the course of 3
games. Clearly, I need to reevaluate my whole attitude, and strive
to be more consistent and focused. Jason, on the other hand, took
team dedication to a whole new level, bowling not 10, not 20, but
TWENTY-ONE practice
games throughout the week, including a stretch of 12
continuous games this past Tuesday. Unfortunately, his dedication to
perfection turned into a curse, as his battered and blistered thumb caused
more pain than he could comfortably bowl through, and his scores suffered
the consequences.
Nick
probably had the most on his mind that
evening, as it was both Valentine's day AND his fiancé's birthday.
Choosing to bowl on either of those nights can get you into trouble, and I
heard he really got an earful when he got home that night. It's also
unfortunate that most of his belongings were dumped in the front lawn when
he got home, but I really think he made the right choice.
We also got some great
footage of this night - be warned of the following two points before
downloading this movie:
-
It is about 13 megabytes. It's on a fast server,
but expect a good download if you're using dialup
-
It is encoded in Windows Media Format. This may
or may not work on a Mac. If someone knows the answer to this,
email me.
