A couple of articles caught my attention this morning
First, it looks like Madonna died a week or so ago. Someone forgot to tell her soon-to-be-hubby.
There is no Peter Lugers in Las Vegas. I checked
I've never been known for my brevity, so here goes...
The Denny's PBA tour is bypassing Milwaukee
For the past four seasons, the USBC Masters qualifying has been held at AMF Bowlero in Wauwatosa (with the finals held twice at Miller Park, and once each at the US Cellular Arena and the State Fair Expo Center). In January it was announced that the Masters was leaving Milwaukee, and would instead be held in Las Vegas. Although it was a blow to lose the Masters tournament, at least the Masters was going to become part of the USBC national tournament is that will be held in Las Vegas in 2009. Unknown is whether the Masters will stay in Las Vegas, or if it will continue to follow the USBC nationals (which are in Reno in 2010, Orlando in 2011, Baton Rouge in 2012, Reno in 2013 and Orlando in 2014).
The heartbreak of Golfer's Elbow
Last week Friday (January 11th), I had surgery on my right elbow. The first time I had a twinge in my elbow was in Januray 2005. At that time, I had bowled three nights a week for a few years, but I was only bowling one night a week for the beginning of that seaon. I was asked to bowl in a new league for the second half of that season, and on the very first night on this new team I felt a twinge in my elbow. Not that it really hurt, because that same week I bowled a career-high 847 series at Bluemound Bowl (which included two 300 games).
Who IS Michael James?
Maybe a check into some of the lists (lower right of this page, but conveniently linked in this post) would give us an idea...
Oh, craps
As much as I would hate to turn away readers, if you don't know much about craps, this entry might be hard to understand. But please, try to follow along.
Believe it! A community that freezes spending in mid-year.
Since I've been to Reno five times (and Reno isn't really that big) I know the city well enough to occasionally glance at the Reno Gazette Journal and read some of the local news. For example, when the Mitzpah hotel burned down in October 2006 and killed 12 people, I knew exactly where that hotel was located. This past summer when fires threatened Lake Tahoe's southern shore, again, I knew the affected area and now check in on the reconstruction of the area.
