    We pulled off a harold and kumar. We saw a fishball tofu stand in the beginning of the day. Was gonna go back 30 mins later. We lost it. Spent the next 8 hours and finally finding it again by night LOL

    We also went on a weekend and saw all those females sheltered under the tunnels. Was pretty weird

    They’re Domestic Helpers. They’re required to live-in with their employers, but Sunday is their day off & a lot of them get turned out so their employers can have “family time”. They have nowhere else to go, so they set up camps wherever space is available.

    Question of the day:
    Who is your biggest role model, and why?

    A:
    For me that would be Norm Duke. I admire his bowlingstyle, the things he has accomplished and he seems like a very nice guy. Always explains very calm and easy about bowling

    I don't know about role model...but 3 of the biggest influences on my bowling were Carmen Salvino, Lisa Wagner, & Amletto Monacelli.

    Salvino & I spoke for about 20 minutes on the need for efficiency & simplicity in delivery and how equipment can aid in that.

    I didn't speak too much with the other 2, but was paired up with them in a Pro-Am. I just learned more about composure and keeping things in perspective...one frame...one shot and above all it's just a game.

    I'm not sure I have a role model. A role model for me would be someone you look to for how to live your life. You model your life after their influences. Not sure there's anyone. Well maybe my dad I liked how he was always friendly and had a joke and had confidence

    my dad really loved bowling too. We took him a couple of times before he was too sick to create some memories and he would get so frustrated that he wasn't as good as he used to be. The boy thought has fun memories of Papa trying to teach him to bowl

    I'm only a hack league bowler....carry a 179 average. But since I hurt my knee I haven't been able to bowl. I do miss it.

    This surgery, instead of trying to repair and reattach my quad tendon, they will replace mine with a cadaver tendon. They will use an Achilles tendon as it tends to be stronger. They may also add some mesh to improve upon the strength.

    Used to have plenty stores around here.. but hardly any nowadays. Not as popular I guess.
