Ariel Bowling Update

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

So as Ariel’s season is winding down, here’s where things stand:

Her high school team finished first in their division. This Saturday the county-wide playoffs will be held at Sayville Lanes in Long Island. That will determine who goes to the State championships.

Ariel herself, along with one of her teammates, Kat, finished second in a two-game county-wide Doubles tournament. Her first game was an anemic 135, but she shook it off and came roaring back, firing off six strikes in a row on her way to a 232 that helped her and her partner clinch second place.

Tragically, I’ll be at WonderCon this weekend and will miss the counties. I agreed to the convention eight months ago before we even knew whether Ariel would make the team, much less when counties were. But Ariel and Kath will be calling me with updates, so don’t be surprised if my cell phone rings during one of my Saturday talks and I take the call.

    I read that as “Smallville Lanes”, and my first reaction was “Can she do that?”

  2. Having bowled two weeks ago for the first time in about ten years, all I can say is “wow. Go Ariel!”

    Congrats to her, and best of luck.

  3. This is what gets me mad about the show Attack of the Show on G4TV. They do a thing called Fresh Ink, but will they be there this weekend? No! Why not, it’s not very far for them.

    And they say only great things about PAD.

    Go figure …

  7. Drat. I’m gonna miss you at WonderCon this time. Oh well. Hope you have a nice time here. It’s actually unseasonably sunny.

    Really, this line feels like vintage Silver-Age Batman: “Kat, the second player alphabetically who finished second in a two-game county-wide Doubles tournament, had her two-toned two-pin pendant stolen last night. Who could be so two-timing to have double-crossed her like that, Robin? Who? WHO?”

  10. Good luck, Ariel (or break a leg, not sure what the terminology is for bowling)!

    Have fun at WonderCon, Peter!
