WE HAVE A NAME

I figured it wouldn't be any good to be called Team 2 all season so I asked Eli if he had any ideas about a team name. He looked up at the scoreboard which showed each of our initials and said, "There it is. Our initials make the word elm like an elm tree so let's be ELM." I suggested "ELM Trio" and that was it. We are now the ELM Trio. Now it's time to find some bowling shirts.

Oh, by the way. we bowled pretty well. Eli nailed a 603 series and I scored a 576. As a team, we scored 618 in the third game. The opposition was absent and they're supposedly going to make up the games soon.

I JOINED A THIRD BOWLING LEAGUE!

Have you seen bowling shoes like these?
I'm bowling three nights per week now. I joined the Friday Night Trios league at Castro Village Bowl with my Dad. We didn't have a third player but CV Bowl found one for us, a gentleman by the name of Eli Daniels. Eli is a cool guy and good bowler with an average of 182. How can you bowl in shoes like these and not be cool?

Our season opened this week and I bowled like garbage. Eli and the Old Man bowled pretty well but I gave them no help at all. We'll be using our entering averages the first few weeks so the handicap and outcome are uncertain at this point. I'll have to pick it up next week or they'll be ready to toss me off the team.
