Let's Bowl

There's a man, Floyd Burns, in Mesa who is turning 80 years old today. He plans on bowling 80 consecutive games. This is his third time bowling his age in games to celebrate his birthday. KVOA news said, "When he turned 77, Burns bowled 77 games in 12 hours, 32 minutes. His average score was 164. At 78, he bowled 78 games in 12 hours, 20 minutes - earning a score of 214 on his 78th game." Burns says he'll start bowling at 8 a.m. and bowl 10 games at a time on two lanes. He'll also bring along his five bowling balls.

And this is why I love old people. They're so cute. There's an old man who bowls on the league next to mine on Thursdays and he's really good. He bowls really slow and he doesn't have much strength, but his technique must be good because he almost always gets the spare (I've never actually seen him get a strike). I tried to take a picture of him once, but I didn't want to be awkward. I did high five him a few times though.

That's some stamina for an 80 year old. I cannot imagine bowling for 12 hours straight. When I bowl on my league (Team Shih Rex & Co.--currently in first place!) every Thursday, I am pretty beat afterwards and that's only three games. When I bowl for fun, I get tired and bored after 5 or 6 games. Anyways, here are pictures of my shoes and ball. I do want a new ball though. Mines about 4 years old and has many dents and cracks in it
