Howdy all,

I had a career night last Tuesday in my scratch league. My previous high series in this league was 939 (4 games). Here are the stats from this week:

Game 1:
X s81 X X X X 9/ X 9/ XXX = 227 {2-7 baby split}

Game 2:
X X 9/ X X X X X X 63 = 243 {3-6-9-10}

Game 3:
X X X X s72 X X X 9/ XX9 = 243 {2-4-10}

Game 4:
X X X X X X X X X XXX = 300

So I ended up with 1013 for the 4 game set and the 300 game was my second perfect game. I also noticed that I just missed an 800 series when I opened in the 10th frame in the second game. A mark and a good count and I shoot 80x.

The leadoff man from the opposing team shot 300 against us in the second game. It was his first and it was refreshing to see someone get emotional after shooting a perfect game. He said that it was his first after bowling for 30 years. Nice shooting Mo!

Maybe I should title this blog entry "better bowling through chemistry"? For the first time in months, I'm actually feeling halfway decent. My back has been bothering me since early summer and I finally gave in and went to the doctor. The doc sent me for an MRI and prescribed some new meds to help with the pain. Now I'm able to follow through and my swing feels a lot better. 

Game 1:
X X X 72 9- X 9/ X X X X 7 = 221

Game 2:
9/ X X X X 62 81 X X X X X = 231

Game 3:
9- 9- 8/ 72 7/ X s8- X 35 X X 9 = 145

Game 4:
X X s81 X X 9/ 9/ X X X X X = 234

Game 5:
X 9/ 71 s6- X 9/ 9/ 9/ 8/ X X 9 = 176

Game 6:
9/ 9/ X X X 9/ X 8/ 6/ X X X = 224

It was a very encouraging night for me and the guys that I crossed with were very complimentary and thought that I threw the ball very well all night. It was nice to leave the bowling alley in a good mood for a change.
