I went bowling tonight.   I don’t want to brag but I took Bowling 101 in college—-oh those good old days at Ohio Northern University.  I have been honing my skills on the Kinect but obviously not enough.   We needed a diversion today —been pretty serious around the old Chiles household and today my sister in law, niece and brother in law and I ventured out to go bowling.  Now my brother in law was pretty good at the game a few years back when he was bowling regularly so I was a little scared.  He has a whole routine before he throws the ball—kind of like a hunter sneaking up on prey.   It has proved to be successful.  Me, on the other hand, not so successful.   I think Bowling 101 was  a few too many years ago.

We had fun, though, and that is what counts.  It was some nice family time that we needed and this provided an outlet.  Hitting bowling pins with bowling balls proved to be a pretty good stress reliever.  Pretty simple—just envision the head of someone you have a conflict with on the front pin and let er rip.  Works like a charm.

Enjoy the pics–and pick up a bowling ball soon.  It may be the best thing you have done in awhile!
