Mondays and Thursdays are a dollar a string.

I have been bowling sidearm for years. It's the only way I know how. I'm not a very good bowler. Sometimes my father tries to show me how it's normal to bowl and I can't seem to do it. No matter what I think I do he says I'm still swinging way out to the side.

Last night, between the two strings we bowled, he said to me, "Jim, when you only have a few pins left you seem to have more control." That is because when there're only one or two standing I throw underhand instead of sidearm. I told him this. "Then why don't you just throw underhand all the time?"

My second score was more than twice my first.

  1. That is great that you have made a breakthrough in bowling.

    However, I am jealous that you go bowling with your dad.

    My dad never takes me...and he has a hurt arm now so I can't even propose the idea right now.

  2. Yeah, I had to make it happen. You gotta jump on that guy when he's healed. Bowling with fathers is good.

    We go almost weekly, actually.
