New Bowling Shoes and Cheap Domestic Brews

So I went bowling with the family and some neighbors last night. Six people on one lane for two hours. Fill in the blanks about my level of enjoyment but I don’t care to elaborate. Anyway, being the occasional bowler, I had to rent shoes. They gave me brand new right out of the box bowling alley rental standard leather shoes. After wearing them for over two hours I can tell you that I would’ve rather risked athlete’s foot with a scrubby old pair of shoes than ever wear brand new bowling alley standard shoes again. I got home and took off my Superstars and my two big toes were purple. Yeah… purple. Yeowch! They still hurt this morning.

So as my feet were suffering on this family bowling nightmare of an evening, I decided that I wanted a Bass (or a Guinness would do). I sent my dear ol’ da to get me my cup of brew and he returned in 5 minutes to inform me that this nightmare of a bowling alley had neither Bass nor Guinness even though they sported both banners on the walls all over. From what I gathered, they didn’t even have them in stock. If they did it’d be hard to run out of either by 8pm on a Saturday night. The only other darkish brew they had was Amberboch. Uhm… yeah that’s what I said.. Amberboch. One glass of Amberboch and two hours of sore toed bowling later I felt no pangs of sadness as I limped out of the worst bowling alley I’ve ever been to. *sigh*

  I'm Elise. Welcome to my blog. It doesn't get updated as often as I would like it to be, but you can still catch a glimpse of who I am here. Someday I'll find a theme I like for more than a week, and when that day comes we well rejoice as though Balky were in the house.
