Haven't been bowling in a long time, but today Fernando and I decided to go and tear up the lanes. I talked some trash even though I know my highest score ever was a 138. It's just fun to spur on some competition. Our first game was neck and neck, ending with a 102 (me) and 104 (F). The second game turned up the head and I think we both amazed ourselves. Despite my turkey (YES, I GOT A TURKEY!), I still didn't beat him! I do now have a new all-time high score. He finished with 185, me with a 175. Woo hoo. He suggested that I text the score to my dad and thank him for signing me up for the Brunswick bowling leagues all those years when I was a kid. It had finally paid off.
The kicker was when we went to pay. Holy Smokes! Don't ever go bowling in Manhattan unless you are a)willing to blow a wad of cash or b)are attending a company sponsored event.
Shoes - 12$
Appetizers and Diet Coke - 20$
2 Games - 40$
Beer and Coke during the game - 15$
Beating your high score from when you were 10 years old? Priceless? Not.
