Well last week we lost to the #1 Team...no kidding that is what they call themselves. I like Joe Racki, we share one thing in common. We are both old school musicians. I remember how much I disliked him until I got to know him a little bit.  I know this about him, he likes and rum and coke and he is a smoker. The two commonalities we share. Well I did not do my best. I had a stellar game the prior week. I had a major upheaval with my neighbors. I took that stress to the game I could have gotten another two hundred game. Racki and his boys didn't runaway with this game. They had to work. Mr. 279 hasn't hit his average in 3 weeks, he has steadily going down in his average. What a disappointment. I did hit my average, in fact for the last 2 1/2 months I have consistently bowled above my average. No brag it is true. Last Wednesday I felt like a total failure. I let outside things interfere with my game. If we want stinking third place we have to fight for it...I'll be back with a vengence this Wednesday!
