As a last hurrah of the summer, New LifeStyles has gone bowling for the past 5 years on the Friday before Labor Day (not to be outdone by our Spring picnic/kickball/wiffle ball/cracker eating tournament, Fall Mac & Cheese cook-off, and winter chili cook-off or Valentine’s bake-off). Never one to disappoint, we held to tradition this year and all 6 teams headed to the bowling alley Friday afternoon:
The X-Pindables (Kariamu, Bill, Cynthia & Pam) – 2nd place winners of the name contest
We’ve Been Framed (Fancy, Richard, Allison, Michelle & Ellen) See the idiom
Some Girls have all the Luke (Luke, Michele, Kristina & Cara)
Gutterly Ridiculous (Doug, Donna, Nikki & Jennifer) – 1st Place winners of the name contest
New LifeStyles Shore – Bob “The Strikeuation” and his Guidettes (Bob, Megan, Vicki, & April)
We’re the High Rollers (Andrea, Jason, Paige, Tanya)
We all arrived, shoed-up and picked balls (except those who have their own balls & shoes. Watch out for them!).
Let the bowling begin!
I love watching the different bowling styles, which say a lot about the person… There’s the thrower that throws the ball down the lane, the slow bowler, whose ball barely make it to the pins, the guys palming the ball & blasting it down the alley so fast you are amazed the pins don’t shatter, and you have to love the poses at the end…
Congrats to Bob & Paige, our 2 high scorers. And welcome our newest member of the sliders club. Now 6 of us have taken a “trip” down the alley (BEWARE, bowling alleys are really slippery after you pass the foul line!!!!).
As for myself, I won the team a pitcher of beer, but don’t let that lead you to believe that I ever broke 100. Good enough for me!
If you haven’t been in a while, go bowling! You will laugh & find muscles you have forgotten about. And you can’t beat the ads in the bathrooms…
