Bowling

My parents were avid bowlers years ago. They would play ritually in their league every Sunday night. Some night me and my sister even got to come along, which to me was great because the bowling alley had a few arcade games in it that would keep me occupied for hours. Eventually I began to pick up the game and when I was around 9 years old I started in a kids league on saturday mornings. I played for a few years and by the time I stopped I had probably a 130 average which isn't too bad for a 12 year old. When I was 20 I started playing again and joined another Saturday morning league. I only played for a couple of years but by the time I was done I was up to 180 average. The last season I played pretty much drove the bowling spirit out of me and I don't really ever see myself getting back into the game with any sort of regularity. I have played a few times over the last ten years or so, but I just don't find it nearly as exciting as I used to.
