Keeping Score

Dair and I are bowling again in the "Oldies But Goodies" Senior League. Her game is not what it was last spring; mine is a tiny bit better than it was last year. We are third from last in the standings at this point in the season. Still, she enjoys it and is always hopeful that each week we'll get to bowl with one of "those good looking men."

This week we were paired with a team that consisted of a lady named Jean and her partner, Jeff. Apparently Jeff has some memory issues himself and during the previous week had burned his hands on a hot pot. Jeff was unable to bowl, but he showed up and watched the rest of us. For some reason the computer that kept our scores gave Jeff nine pins each frame even though he never got up from his seat and bowled a single time.

Fortunately, Dair and I had a good day and ended winning all three games against Jean and Jeff, even with his automatic 90 score. As we left the bowling alley, Dair commented, "that fellow next to us (meaning Jeff) was pretty good today."
