Taking me bowling is always a treat, because apparently, I’m fun to watch. In my teens and early 20’s, I used the 10 or 11 pound balls, ‘cause no cool kids used anything lighter than that; although those kids were often twice the size of my petite 5’ almost 3, 100-ish pound frame. I’d get up to the lane with my “best” bowling form, straining to swing my arm back, and send the ball in a pitiful roll toward the gutter, wondering what was I doing wrong. One time, I literally bowled a 6. Yes, you read that right- I knocked down 6 pins in 10 frames.
