I've been breaking in my new Hammer Black Widow Sting and am in a slight slump. But I have converted the last 10 10-pins so I am not complaining!

September 5, 2009: Quite the day I'll remember forever. Attended the PBA Motor City Classic at Thunderbowl near Detroit Michigan. Won an autographed official PBA pin and got additional autographs and photos from Chris Barnes, Walter Ray, Bill O'Neill, Pete Weber, Steve Jaros, Jack Jurek, and Randy Peterson.

4/4/08 Funny story: Practicing up for the big event Sunday, I subbed in Hyannis Thursday. So, after a lowly 139 and 156, I began game three with a 52 in the fifth. A last ditch effort adjustment to the deep outside line did the trick. 7 strikes in a row later I finished the game with a 202. I'm ready for the tourney!!
