The differences in observation and perception are amazing, enlightening and fun.<br />Your Grandpa was a unique, bowled OVERHAND! Then ran back to keep his own score.

You’re just lucky you misspelled it the way...<b>Judie,</b><br />You’re just lucky you misspelled it the way you did. It almost looked like something that would completely misrepresent what you intended.<br /><br />Too bad they don’t have duckpins in AZ. It’s much easier on the shoulders, knees, feet and everything in between.<br /><br />It’s like Skee-ball in a bowling alley.<br /><br /><b>Jessica,</b><br />No, there are no finger-holes in the ball. You just grip it and rip it.<br />(Before we left, I warned everyone to watch out because I was going to bowl “overhand.”)<br /><br /><b>RPM,</b><br />It’s hard to teach kids to bowl “correctly” because they don’t usually have sufficient wrist strength to come up through the ball and give it the spin. Although nowadays, using a Wii would help with the “theory”.<br /><br />I won’t fault my Dad for teaching me to bowl… it served me well the rest of my bowling life. But yeah, I was pretty pissed at the time. Isn’t that always the way with kids?<br /><br />Kudos on being the first to know about duckpins!bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-26280643012152796432010-11-05T09:49:41.135-04:002010-11-05T09:49:41.135-04:00Pittsburgh used to have a duckpin bowling alley in...Pittsburgh used to have a duckpin bowling alley in Edgewood. I've been — it was a blast. I have no idea if it's still there.<br /><br />My dad used to make me cry trying to "teach" me how to bowl. He wasn't a good math tutor, either.<br /><br />I've taken the kids bowling, and it's been fun. I'm very much about "no pressure; have a good time" with them. If they want to learn the proper way to do stuff, I'll sign 'em up for a team!red pen mamahttp://albamaria30.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-71012539288714862632010-11-05T09:31:09.350-04:002010-11-05T09:31:09.350-04:00Miniature bowling!

It never occurred to me that I would play as well. Ihad not had a bowling ball in my hand since college! When they told me it was my turn, I blanched! But wanting to be a cool mom, I grabbed a ball, drew it back and promptly flung it backwards! They were falling down laughing!!<br />Since then, I have gone bowling several times with my youngest son, and have thoroughly enjoyed it! I couldn't do it on a regular basis, because I have a "bad shoulder" or a "bad elbow", or "bad knees," which happens to people my age eventually. It was fun while it lasted, though!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.com
