Michelle is a great person. Interesting style of bowling with the 23 Vicodin between games and all. Just kidding Michelle
I have to say this girl has guts!! Tossing the orb so soon after a broken hand. My hat is off to you Michelle. Good luck with the rest of your trip.Sunnybrook is a very nice house. They have everything there. 18 hole golf coarse, 50 lanes, hotel, gun range, squirrel farm, habit trail, Social Security office, DMV, Methadone Clinic, and a Super Slurpee stand! Yes, I hit them all!!! The squirrel farm twice. I can see why the PWBA stopped here.
It was nice to see Rackattack and DaShiv. I always enjoy talking to RA. Very knowlegable. Shiv is a great guy. We will have to get a BR get together going soon. Maybe the new owner of br will show up???!!!!!

Sorry I didn't put in a little more time visiting with you guys. I did get involved in watching Keli Rapp's chase to make the cut. She didn't miss the pocket with a single shot all night. Some were a little iffy, but they got there. She missed just a few spares. I had heard that it looked like the cut was going to be somewhere in the +160-180 range. I spoke briefly to Kendra Gaines and she said +160 (she had no concerns at +555), but the tournament office said +180, which turned out to be exactly right. Keli started the day a bit under and climbed throughout the set until after seven games she was +149. I had made the acquaintance of her dad, so I told him that it looked like +180 was what it was going to take. I had no idea if she would want to know, so I left it up to him to decide. She had moved way left and picked up her speed, and cranked out a 257 to go +206 and come in 55th. Who says bowling isn't exciting? There was a young lady who was part of Keli's cheering section that I spoke to briefly , but didn't find out till after the competition that she was not only Keli's high school friend, but unbeknownst to me, she had participated in the tournament herself. Her name was Tanya DeSantis (she finished #116 at -139). Strangely enough, I had already PMed our forum's Michael DeSantis to see if she was any relation to him. She isn't. Keli was +200-something for the day. In today's Free Press it mentions that tournament leader Kelly Kulick and a bunch of others were able to use the same ball all set. Keli Rapp did that as well, using a Diesel Particle Pearl, one of my own favorites.
I wandered around for awhile afterwards waiting for the results sheets to come out, but somehow or other I missed you guys in the bar. Tish Johnson was certainly having a good time, and I had noticed that she was clearly having a good time all night, playing to the crowd and being very friendly. I was very surprised to find out later that she had not even made the cut!
Strangely, the final four to make the cut (#s 61-64) were all local amateurs--Laura Goldberg, Betty Trimper, Michelle Ewald, and Tracey Wade.
The whole thing was a blast. It was all over before I realized that I had hardly even visited with you guys. To Jeff, Joey, and rackattack--it was great meeting you last night. To michelle, who I met at the pro-am--take care of that hand and kill 'em next week in Terre Haute!

I think our posts crossed in the ether. You forgot to mention my favorite attraction at Sunnybrook--the lifesize statue of a bowling Homer Simpson made entirely out of margarine. No dye necessary to get the skin color right--ingenious!

The choice that *ahem* someone made for Labatt's was bad enough...but LABATT LIGHT?????? Geez...some people I do appreciate those that were able to make the trip out there...it really does help to have people behind you even if it is only a couple of people (and even if they do have to have a map to keep up with my field trips on the approach
) Who is up for the charter bus to Terre Haute?
Post by: Joey Bag-o-donuts on May 30, 2003, 11:08:33 AM
I drink light beer to keep my great figure that I have worked so hard to establish. Michelle, With this group I believe that charter to Terre Haute would be one hell of a party. There is nothing better than bowling with a hang over!!! (where are the dancing bananas when I need them)
On another note; next week will be my last week of lurking for a while. The heat out west commeth so my test season must start. I will be in Vegas, Palm Springs, and several other cities in AZ. I am loading my tools and cars up as we speak and must hop a flight real soon. I will take my lap top and check in on your progress when I can Michelle. GOOD LUCK and take care of that right hand young lady!!!!
