When the heck did I become a BOWLER?!?!  I just started wondering this last night after I bowled in my ”other” bowling league. 

Six months ago, my daughter had never been bowling, my wife had maybe bowled 2 or 3 times, and I hadn’t bowled in over 10 years.  Then one random Sunday, we decided to go bowling.  To my surprise, the two of them loved it.  I love anything that I can feel competitive in, so of course I loved it.  We decided to go again the next week.  Since then, we’ve only missed maybe 2 Sundays out of about 24.  On top of that, my wife and I have been slipping out on most Wednesdays too to play.  All three of us now have our on balls, bags, and shoes.

The natural progression, simply put, was to join a league right?  Yes, eventually, we decided to start playing in a league every other Saturday.  My wife and I, my mother-in-law, and a friend.  So now we all play “for real”. 

But that wasn’t enough.  The company I work with started a bowling league, and I just HAD to join that too.  So no I also play every other Tuesday in a league.

I got a 225, 190, and 186 in one league… and a 220, 190, and 268 in the other!  The 268 looked like this (note the only spare was actually a gutter, then I hit all 10 for the spare):

When the heck did I become a BOWLER?!?!

Ok, I know you have more interesting things to read, but I’m going to talk about my BOWLING team anyway.  I came up with what I thought was a pretty clever name, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gutter”.  Clever… right?

So, we got home from the bowling alley and decided to browse for some logo ideas.  Turns out, a TON of people have alredy thought of that team name.  In fact, I ran accross some sites that ranked it as one of the more common bowling team names.  Not so clever now!

Well, anyway, this is the logo I made for our shirts.  I’ve taken the not-so-clever stance and tried to mimic the butter logo.  Not bad ey?  I had to throw in the separate “No Trans Fat” logo for kicks

Just to thwart the nasty looks your monitor will get when you read this, I’m not a Bowling Nazi.  In fact, the team consists of me, my wife, my mother-in-law, and my like-a-sister.  More so, my drinking team has a bad bowling problem
