    I missed bowling this past Monday. Just wasn't feeling well with a headache and overall tired feeling.

        52. Arthritis runs in my dad's side of the family. Not sure why it has affected my elbow though.

          Usage of your right elbow from bowling and other activities I would assume as a possibility.
          It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

            Yeah. I realized that it sounded goofy when i posted that. I noticed it about 10 years ago, after a night of bowling as a matter of fact.

              Ive been wearing a knee brace on my slide leg for basically the last 5 years. I also wear a compression sleeve on my right arm (elbow) and put biofreeze on it before putting the sleeve on.

                  224-279-235 = 738

                  Very nice shot. I also kept up the ball speed. I had a pretty wide zone to play with my normal shot.

                  2nd game was flat 10, ringing 10, 10 in a row.

                  Average up to 215.

                          Tonight I get to go back to the house that tortured me all night last week.

                              I bowled competitively in junior high and high school (the era of the yellow dot and LT-47) - some kids gambled after friday night adult leagues - we all bowled saturday morning leagues
                              but the real competition was in the saturday afternoon travel leagues

                              the top 5 in each saturday league travelled to a different set of lanes every week - (usually in crappy neighborhoods that my parents hadn't been to) - this was a real challenge with drastically different conditions and also we usually had 2-3 maybe 3 balls. It was great fun and carrying an above 190 average was a big deal - above 200 was rare

                              you also had the distraction of the ohio state football game on the tvs - I once had a teammate roll a sanctioned 300 and he didnt even stay on the lanes between shots because he had to wander down to the snack bar to watch the buckeyes

                              so - a question is -how competitive is your league and what average does it take to be in the top 3rd/4th
