went 10-pin bowling today, something i haven't done in years. i used to be okay-good back in high school, but in the meantime could never find a fitting ball on the rare occasion of bowling, so i thought i had gone sucky. today i won. no strikes but a couple of good spares, which lifted my spirits. it's all in the ball. if i could have one custom-made, who knows, i might be a fine bowler. i also love bowling gear, vintage shoes especially, and ball bags.
i had forgotten to recharge my camera battery and didn't realize i had another with me, so there are no photos of the rainbow of colours on the lane. some of the balls are so beautiful, iridescent and pearly. there was also a bright double rainbow in the sky after a quick shower, impressive against a mass of grey cloud. i managed a shot at my gelato, though, lemon and raspberry, which makes up for the losses in the colour department today.
there will be some soreness tomorrow, i fear. bowling employs surprising muscles. but it also opened up something between my shoulder blades that has been jammed for ages. i can breathe better now.
