Flutterby™! : Dan goes Bowling

Charlene took me bowling last night, something I haven't done since a 3^rd or 4^th grade birthday party. Cavernous echoes of the crashing pins, the pretentious Country Club Lanes name and Jetsons styled Brunswick ball returns and scoring displays, despite the Marin location not a yuppie SUV in sight. Lots of fun, she rolled 145 on the first round (although didn't do nearly as well thereafter), it took me 5 games, 2 beers, and progressively lighter balls to (barely) break a hundred. After reading Bowling Alone I'd thought of bowling as a dying sport, but I was amazed at how young everyone there was.
