Thats right – Christmas has arrived bit early here in Saskatoon and pictures show the nice fresh snow on the ground early this morning and it feels like -4 celcius or 32 fahrenheit.  Well it could have been worse like the blizzard we had starting in the month of April . One can never be too sure about temperatures here in saskatoon. We can all hope it wont snow in May or June .

Last Sunday, went for bowling with friends of mine, and was excpecting some challenge from one known as “Spidey”, so much for the thingly feeling he never saw it coming ! 5 Strikes that included 2 doubles (aka 2 strikes in a row) in a game of 10 pin bowling. I think bowling is suppose to be 10 pin bowling, but not sure what would you call 5 pin bowling than ? Either ways, played 1 game of 5 pin bowling and 1 that of 10 pin.

The 5 pin bowling did not go too well for me, but it definitely did not go too great either for our friend Spidey. 134 was spidey’s final and 121 for me. A difference of  “13″ points. Do look at the pictures below for the final scores of our other 2 contenders, F……A and V……H (due to privacy i guess did not want to disclose their names ). Reflecting upon the first time bowling scenario and the scores : Check it out , I have to admit Spidey aka Jose did better this time around, and so did I, seems like it.

Anyways as usual was a close game, but still would like to see better performance next time around, even from our friends F……A and V…….H. Before i forget and due to my habit of taking topics offtrack, we again went to the same bowling arena, known as “East View Bowling” or is it “East View Bowl”, I wish they had a better looking site than what they have right now, seems like a website from the late 70′s !

In the final game of bowling, official bowling aka 10 pins or is it seemed to have had more ? I started off with 2 doubles aka 2 strikes in a row, giving me an edge over spidey. Others, well F….A had the worst time ever, kept hurting her fingers/nails and stuff. We kept asking her to go slow, but for her what seemed to be slow, looked like a speeding bullet for us. Due to the sheer speed, there seemed to be little or no directional control ! Hence, the loss I would say.. better slow down next time, “speed racer” .

Funny part of the whole thing was, on one hand we had “Speed Racer” and on the other it seemed like we were watching bowling in “Replay” or in “Slow Motion”. V…..A was awesomely slow, it took about 30 seconds if not more for the ball to reach the pins it seemed like. There was one shot, where it was so slow that it seemed like it the ball would come to a halt just before touching the pins !

Time to get back to dual against spidey and myself. Seemed like spidey, tried to do everything possible to not make any mistakes, but what he did not do, was try to go for big strikes, his shots seemed to be well thought out, but poorly planned out, now that line does not make any sense. I suppose that means, he as being too careful, and not taking the risk ? Well I cannot speak for what he was thinking or planning, that only he knows. For me, seemed like getting a strike was way more fun than actually winning, and not to mention the goal to achieve a “free coupon” to whatever. Free is always good, as long as free is good in itself. For example free hot dog, wont be good in itself for me, but a free ice-cream would be .
We knew it was going to come down to the last round, well spidey tried, and did manage to get a strike, putting him in the lead and uber pressure on me, had no choice, but to go for a strike, which luck you may call, did get a strike, but was still not leading the board, hence tried to get another good throw, which turned out to be a strike. Thus, giving me my 2nd double in the game and the 5th in-game strike.  Won the game, which was won last time by spidey, thus providing him with grounds/reasons to improve his game hehe. My score seemed to be my highest ever, 170, next time will aim to get 200 or more. I must remember to use 11 sized ball for the next game, seem to work for me quite well and did not even hurt my hand this time round.

Ok time for you all to gaze at the pictures below . Names have been scrapped out for F….A and V….H for i do not want to get sued, cause my name invites such action !
