my everest

So HIATUS has been pretty productive so far. On Tuesday I was able to check something off my list of athletic triumphs. Read it and weep, kids. My first 200 game. What strikes me (no pun intended) is how hard I had to work. I mean, after the first frame I had no open frames at all and I still needed to pick up a difficult spare in the 10th to break 200.

Anyway, check it off the list. Next up: shattering a backboard (as Michael Jordan does in this rarely seen clip from a 1986 Italian exhibition game):



The only thing that could make that better is if they scored the clip with music from "Crocodile Dundee." Wait...they did. Shit.

Hopefully the heat will break on Wednesday and we can all walk around outside for more than ten minutes without getting clammy and stinky. It's been in the mid-90s for at least three days now. Wednesday afternoon -- watching soccer at Tom & Jerry's with Pete B.
