I can beat Ludacris at bowling, I'm pretty sure of that, even after a five-year layoff from a very competitive, but fun atmosphere, league bowling.

I stopped in the local bowling house, All-Star Lanes located in beautiful North Fort Myers, Fla., last week, and inquired about summer leagues.

I was informed that someone was needed on Thursday evening which fit into my schedule so off to league I go once more.

Summer leagues are usually less crowded and people are going on vacations, so teams are short, the bowling is fast, usually and a good way for me to get tuned up for some more serious people later.

Fully loaded, weighs in at 51.3 lb. First try getting that in my Honda trunk.

After a little wrestling, in it went. I have a Rhino that's probably 15 years old now, and a newer 15 lb urethane thing that seems to work well.

The rubber Lt 48 Johhny Petraglia special got left in the yard, I'm sorry to say. That ball saw some good games.

My team has three other people. One guy is 83 and the second game he fires a 200. Nice. I have to establish a new average and I'm sure my spare shooting will be rusty.

The first game back after a 5 year lay-off I shoot an unimpressive 147 in my mind. Four open frames. I can't seem to get my ball to hit the pocket. Everything is Brooklyn, or to far left for a right-hander.

I try to move about the lane a bit for the second game, but the ball still wants to go left a bit. Second game 2 open frames and a 169.

Now, This is B.S., ...
