Joined a bowling league here in Humboldt, other than the odd time going out with friends I haven't really bowled in 10 years or so.

We bowl every Tuesday and I must say the first few weeks were off to a good start, kinda thought I had discovered some newly found stroke.... Well, that was short lived.

However, I had a chance to redeem myself with one ball. Every week one dollar from every player gets thrown into a 50/50 pot. Halfway through the night a random lane and bowler is selected. Thus bowler gets to throw a ball to try and get a strike. If he/she is successful, they win the pot. If not, the pot carries over until next week. 

Well, something told me that my name was coming up this week. Low and Behold it did. I was thinking a strike here would pick me up out of this two-week slump and add an additional $72 to my pocket,  but by looking at the title you coulda probably guessed that didn't happen. Perfectly thrown ball, looks like a strike, and that darn right side 2-pin doesn't fall. So the pockets stay light and the slump stays present. Darn you 2-pin........of course the next ball I threw was a strike.
