My office had the annual holiday party on Friday. We share the party with the lab next door, which is fun as we don't always get to hang out with them. This year, the committee decided to hold the party at a bowling alley. I had no idea how big the place was until I got there. It's obviously an old place, but spacious.
The food was good, I had a couple of beers, and bowled a couple of games with friends. This was the first time I had bowled in probably 10 or 15 years. I seem to think that I used to bowl around 130, but my performance on Friday suggests that number was much, MUCH lower, as I had trouble breaking 100. My knee is slightly swollen, I think, from using it in ways I'd not in a long time.
Still, we had a good time. I could have left the party at 2:30 PM, but stayed an extra hour. I was feeling a little full from the food and beer, so I made a quick stop at the comic book shop and headed home.
There are a couple of local gay bowling leagues and I've thought about joining them during the softball off-season. Maybe next year I'll consider it, if nothing more than for the social outlet.
