So many memories come to mind…
Like when I was a freshman in high school and I bowled in two different leagues on Saturday mornings. The first was for kids in my age group. The second was for the older bunch and I was on a team with some of the ‘cool’ seniors - Matt B (RIP), Mitch A, Brad C and Jim K. They’d all drag themselves in at 1:00, hungover, and I’d be all “Hey fellas! I bowled really well earlier so you’re in for a treat, whee!”
OK that’s not completely true, but it’s not too far off because I definitely was trying to be cool at a time when I certainly wasn’t. I can’t even remember how I became a member of that team. Most likely because they knew I was good and they knew my brother Adam.
That was a strange year for me. I did a lot of math homework for other people essentially so they would actually talk to me. In the long run, it worked.
Bowling and math. I’ve got all the right skills :)
