Blog? What blog?!
Ah yes, I remember now...
While I never truly forgot about you guys, I can see why you might think otherwise given my sporadic-at-best posting history. To catch up, let's do a very quick Sport League debriefing followed by a Thursday Night Men's Roundup. The inaugural Midas Sport League came to a rousing crescendo on August 13, with Andrew Gordon bringing his best bowling of the summer en route to victory in the single-elimination roll-off tournament. The bowler who writes this blog didn't fare quite as well. I wound up finishing 8th in the regular season through several strokes of sheer luck - my average ended up at 166. This may have marked a 13-pin improvement from last season's sport league, but was way down from earlier in the season. I ended up losing my first match to BJ Harvey, who's really a pretty good guy even if he does root for the LA Angels. Organizationally, there seems to be plenty for us to improve upon, but for the most part I'm pleased with how things turned out. Looking forward to next year already...
On to more current
events. Fall/Winter leagues have begun here at Northside, and my Thursday Night Mens team is back for a third year. Our first
two seasons in the league were largely
forgettable, with finishes of 24/26 in
year 1 and 20/24 in year 2.
This year, I keep
telling myself, will surely be different. Certainly our standing through 5 weeks has improved dramatically - my team
(appropriately named "Max
Handicap") sits in a 4-way tie for 8th
place. There is room for improvement, as
well, with Chris "Ringer" Burke sitting a full 20 pins below last season's average. Nor have we seen
the best from Al "Quiet Riot"
Bailey or Rick "Ricardo Bruno" Brown. Combining all of these factors, I've set my goal as a Top-10 finish for the
year. Time will tell if this is a
reasonable expectation or not.... You can check up on our progress here.
Well, there it is.
It always feels good to get a long-overdue task out of the way, and posting on this blog has proven no
different. I'd promise to post again
soon if I thought anyone out there would believe
me ;-) No, really. If I don't post again soon someone please hound my **s.
For now, I'm off to
complete the installation and configuration of our new wireless access point - we got a high-gain antenna to
(hopefully) cover the entire center with
broadband goodness. Wish me luck!
Cheers,
Billy G.
