I’ve been on quite a run at the bowling alley, lately. I busted out of the big poker tournament just in time to make it over to Ocean Lanes in Lompoc for the doubles tournament there. I had a partner who showed up just in case I was able to make it. I threw what I believe is my best ever four game series, an 895. My first three games totaled 677, so just short of a 700 series. I’ve been bowling long enough now that you’d think I’d have done that already, but I still don’t. The closest I’ve come is a 695 in a tournament at Zodos last year. If you take my first, second, and fourth games from the Lompoc tournament, I shot 712, but unfortunately it doesn’t count that way.

The next day was the first week of the new Sunday night league. They didn’t oil the lanes at all, because most of the people there don’t care. It’s called the “Sunday Fun League” for a reason. I managed to shoot a 619 there. Since then, I have thrown an 845 (four games), 691 (so close!), and a 660. All told, I’ve averaged 219 over my last 18 games, which is pretty insane for me. Hopefully, I’ll keep up this streak long enough to get a 700 in there before I fall apart again. I’d also like a 279 game (and a 300, of course.) My current high is 268, and I’ve done that twice.

Maybe next week.
