In case the weather turns

and I can't do the fence, anyone up for a bowling night somewhere this weekend (it's a 3-dayer for most of us! )? I tossed this one out once before and a few people said yes (who, like me, were willing to make a fool of themselves).

Since dinners don't seem to work too well, I thought bowling might be fun. If anyone else is game, lemme know!

I'm game, and the sooner I know - the better. I think something like that would be fun! We just have the stinkin' marriage prep. classes, but that's Saturday during the day.

Otter and I do have family stuff this weekend but we love to bowl. Real bowling, that is.

real bowling? what other kind is there?

of course, the only hitch is this: if the weather is bad enough that we can't do a fence, we may not be able to drive too far, either to bowl. But I'm game!

I'm up for bowling, let me know.

the picture should explain it. Are those the type of pins and balls you're talking about?

and your "pins" are so fat and round!!!

bowling; 10-pins; one ball; two tries (no bumper helpers -- except for the kids)!

does duckpin bowling still exist??

okay; heck, i'll learn a new game. where do they have it? any bowling place or only a few select (and likely far away) places?

I use to love going to "Curly's" in Waldorf for duckpin bowling. I have no clue if there are any places left.

I've never even heard of duckpin bowling, but Dean talks about going all the time as a child. I was deprived, I tell ya!

Snow day = Hooky = Bowling!!!! YEA! Count me in - you sure I can't get help? Can I be spotted a few points so my board doesn't look empty?

Maybe it is like target pratice and we get to shoot ducks, but instead of a gun we pin them in an alley and throw balls at them. Just an idea. Sounds like fun to me.

Duck pins are shorter and smaller than regular pins. The balls are hand-size and you get 3 rolls instead of two. I haven't played since I was a kid, they're hard to find.
