I had a birthday last weekend and I decided that a Bowling Party would be great fun. I actually had one many years ago so the idea to do it again has been on my mind for the last couple of years. So much so in fact, that I have been collecting bowling trophies since then. Whenever I came across a bowling trophy or prize I would buy it. So for several years there has been a shoe box in a closet containing an odd assortment of trophies and treasures abandoned by their original winners. Well, this was the year! Check out the vintage bowling shirts!!
I gathered some friends, reserved the lanes using a party plan they offered that included two hours of bowling, shoes and pizza and wings and soda. So much for the soda…I bought drinks from the lounge. I had hoped that the beer would loosen up my stiff joints and I might even get a strike! LOL – other than our friend, Ron, strikes were pretty scarce all around. But hey I figured most of us hadn’t bowled in YEARS so what could you expect? Well, I for one, was hoping muscle memory would take over once I stopped trying – It didn’t!
Happy Birthday Bowling Party

Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
