Off to Rochester

Very likely by the time you read this, I’m going to be on the road to Rochester, NY.  Tomorrow morning at 6 AM, Ariel will be boarding the bus with her championship varsity bowling team and heading up to Rochester for the state tournament which will be Saturday morning.  I’ll be driving up right behind and will naturally be there, along with all the other parents, cheering her on.

I’ll also probably catch a showing of “Watchmen” up there Friday evening.

Watch this space for match results.

UPDATED 3/10:  Well, it didn’t turn out as well as we’d hoped.  Ariel’s team finished in sixth place (out of ten teams).  Ariel struggled mightily, bowling below her average much of the day, her fingers cramping due to an injury sustained the previous night.  By the fifth game she was taking Advil and putting her hand on ice, and refused to be taken out for a substitute.  Her last game she gritted it out and shot a 223.  I’ve never been prouder of her.
