candlepin bowling is an excellent sport, check out www.shellnecklace.org/bowling

I have had two 300's but haven't had one since 2001. I also have 4 299's and 3 298's. I am still waiting for insurance to approve my surgery. I bowl now in 2 leagues and can only imagine how much more fun it will be when I have surgery and be able to move better because of the less weight. I absolutely love to bowl and average around 200 but I do feel I will get better when I lose weight..

I just had my first night bowling since my surgery June 3, 05 (3 1/2 months out). To confuse things a little more the alleys were changed over the summer from natural wood to an artificial surface. My super hook was more of a straight ball and it took two games to figure it out. my third game was a 213 but I only had a 470 series. My abdominal muscles were a little sore last night but feel fine now. best wishes, Rich
