Bowling and Billiards

Chip and I went to Mel's Sunday afternoon for a little bowling and billiards. 

Pre-game.  He thought he had a chance. 

First frame...I threw a strike, he got two gutters. He knew he was in trouble.

I pulled out a 156 (which honestly is way better than I bowled even back in my league days!) and he shot an 85.  It was a bit of a bowling wonder.  We bowled a three game series.  He got better each game and I got worse.  Bowling balls are heavy!  Chip was a bit peeved that he didn't beat me, so he suggested a game of pool to see if he could redeem himself.   

Guess what?  I was on fire at pool, too!  I was hitting crazy shots that certainly were not due to any billiard skills I have developed in my life, so we can only assume it was pure luck.  

Sometimes, luck is enough!   Any given day!!
