Of gutter balls and lucky strikes

The entry of spring with abundant sunshine and combined with the Friday afternoon mindset the stage was set for the bowling event. There were a few familiar faces and after introductions we were ready for a couple games of bowling. Even though it was a bit early than usual timing, the spirits of experienced and novice bowlers was high. The inexperience coupled with enthusiasm led to quite a few unimaginable strikes. The gutter balls embarrassed the players only for a few times. The curly fries served as a lucky charm for some members and the cheese filled mushrooms was the muse for others. Praying on knees and staring at the pins resulted in a few spares that boosted the score which was promptly ignored in the abundant conversations between frames.

In all it was fun evening with a few new friends and slightly improved bowling skills.

Seven

The number seven has some major significance
Seven colors in the rainbow
Seven major notes both in western and eastern music

On the sinister side there is seven deadly sins

Are there seven distinct smells that form the core of the olfactory sense

Are there seven tastes that combine to form the culinary bliss like a symphony

Are there seven ways to touch ?

Ramble mode off
