As some of you might know, "Jester" blogged about being a bowler a little while ago.  ('He' is really going to miss that avatar haha)

"Jester" has really struggled with the bowling thing the last few years.  Finishing off the year with a 160 something year end average year after year, working 'his' butt off one year to get his average up to 182, only to have it come crashing down the following year into the 150's (a new low) and almost quitting the whole 'roll-the-ball-down-the-alley-and-hit-the-pins' concept a few times.

"Jester" had even wondered if 'his' struggles was due to having just too much crap on 'his' mind, what with life really biting 'him' in the butt lately.  But the acceptance of a special friend passing and coming to terms with it has helped.  'He's' still not quite up to the 182 average yet, but the bowling is getting better, holding 'his' own somewhere in the 160's at the moment.

Then the poor fool does something really stupid.  Well, I will give the guy credit.  When 'he' took on the secretary position for the Tuesday night league 'he' joined a couple years ago, 'he' really didn't expect to have the average keeper of his Saturday morning kids bowling quit and have to take on the secretarial duties of that this year too !!! So, 'he' has had to better organize his free time to get the paperwork done, which made a couple things suffer in the interim.

Anyhoo.  One of the perks of being secretary of a league and a member in good standing with the bowling association, is one is able to enter and compete in the League Executive Tournament this past Sunday.  'He' wasn't going to enter as one of three representatives of the league, but the treasurer couldn't make the tournament, so 'he' said 'what the hell' haha. All Jester was hoping to do was bowl 'his' average going into the tournament of a 153.  Sort of save face and not make a total fool of 'himself'.

Guess it helped 'him' being a little tired.  Was more relaxed I suppose.

So what did the silly fool go and do ????

'He' bowled three games and finished with a plus 124 pins over average and won the house round tournament in the Secretaries division with the honor to go to the Provincial round in February !!!

Boy, oh boy.  Did I ever kick 'his' butt around the place when I found out !!!  And to think 'he' didn't want to enter the tournament in the first place !!! hahahaha
