Yesterday was Nathan's birthday, and the three of us did something he'd wanted to do, that I was doing for my first time ever, which was to go down the road to Danbury's decades-old duckpin (yes, duckpin) bowling alley and try our hands at it.

I had always failed abysmally at the couple of bowling attempts I'd ever made, but duckpin is smaller and easier, and as it turned out, my beginner's luck (which I've often had at various things) won me the match. It turned out to be a fun and relaxing and totally different way to spend a couple of hours, and we'll definitely do it again.

Only drawback, in my case, is that it aggravated some sciatic disturbance that I can still feel this morning. This was surprising, since the ball weighs only three pounds or so. But the activity and movements themselves showed up in my lower back just like certain outdoor work involving a lot of bending tends to do. I shall have to watch that in the future.

Good morning, all.

It is supposedly sn*wing here. I’m afraid to look out.

Waiting for the temperature to hit 75 in a few days.

It’s a long wait.

Glad the CT scan went well.

Nothing accumulated. It just looks wet out there, which probably means icy.

ChasSmith, I wish you the best with your sciatica. Wish I could share with you the sciatica cream Amazon delivered yesterday. I haven’t tried it yet.

I have been duckpin bowling a few times....there was some kind of league among the theeders in Indy back in the 1990's....and our team the Fonsecas [named after our theeder founder and director] would play once a month or so with teams from around town.

I think we won ONCE....the league was disbanded and everyone moved to volleyball.

Glad you had a good time, though! Sending quick healing vibes for the sciatic discomfort.

Jrand, sending vibes that the parking on your block doesn't become unpleasant.

Watching Eyes Without a Face for the first time. When Alida Valli first meets the girl to be kidnapped, it’s in front of a theater showing Ionesco’s Victims of Duty, which seems to describe Valli’s character perfectly.

Fabulous! Thanks for posting it.

It’s National Margarita Day. Or just another day in San Antonio.

I remember the first time I saw a universal remote.

I thought, "Wow. This changes everything."

My friend Sarah left her bottle of Pepsi at a rest stop about 60 miles south of Tampa.

That's where Sarah's soda is.

Is it OK to groan if it adds a post towards getting to page 3?

Freddie · « **Reply #58 on:** February 22, 2025, 09:04:01 AM »

I'll assume yes.

Oy!!!

If it were saliva, would it qualify as saliva of the fittest?
