I've been away from this blog for a while because I got burned out and needed a break.  My Friday night team finished a few points higher this year than they did last year.  However, the Friday night league was the reason I was feeling burned out, so I won't be returning there.  I saw too much bickering for my taste, including a "quick meeting" that turned ugly in a hurry.

My Wednesday night team finished 3rd overall.  We weren't able to take over second place, but we did get a couple of team awards for third highest game and second highest series.  On a personal note, I got the award for Most Improved Average.  I also finally broke the 250 mark with a 252 game, only to find out I wasn't eligible for the patch.  Oh well, at least I did it.  Besides, that's what EBay is for.

So last night was opening night for my first PBA Experience league.  I brought the Swamp Monster along with my usual arsenal of the Monster Frenzy and the Radical Inferno to face the Chameleon pattern.

Game 1: 164
Game 2: 143
Game 3: 161
--------------
Series: 468

I knew I wasn't going to roll a 200 last night, but I did about as well as I thought I would.  It's almost like learning to bowl all over again, but this time around I have better equipment and I know more about making adjustments than when I started out.  I began with the Swamp Monster, changed to the Radical Inferno in the 2nd game, and went to the Monster Frenzy in the 3rd game.  If I can maintain an average in the 150's, I'll be satisfied.  If I can get into the 160's, I'll be ecstatic.  170's - I'll be orgasmic.  Well, almost.
