Bowling...

Multiple
Aging
Seniors
Annihilate
Pins

Last week I found myself waiting for what seemed like forever for a group of 400 elderly citizens to finish their bowling league. I watched throw after throw in awe as they were SO consistent! X, 9/, X, X, 7/, X etc..... Granted, the speedometer would read anywhere form 8-11.2 mph for how fast they were throwing it, but they were still getting them down! It made me wonder....we go bowling, our generation, and we are usually happy to bowl over 100. How did these darling wrinkly creatures get so darn good? Let's think of some theories: they have developed Alzheimers and forgot how bad they were/are. With retirement and no kids to steal their time, they have LOTS of practice time....the saying "Practice makes perfect" might be true. Quite possibly, there is a way to pay off the workers in the back to help knock down the pins to make Grandma and Grandpa feel better in their last few moments. I guess I just came to two conclusions that if you suck in bowling now, don't fret. You will be a pro as you get older. Second, that bowling is the only sport that you get better at as you get older.




Wouldn't it be fun if we could get all of MASAPpers together to have a bowling party? Let's do it. February 30, 2010 in Provo, UT 7:00pm. See you then!
