It has probably been at least five years, if not longer, since I last stepped foot in a bowling alley. There is no tragic reason behind this, it’s simply something that it hadn’t occurred to me to do for a while; one of those fun things you do as a kid that are subsequently forgotten amidst the pressures of adolescence. However, more recently (potentially as a result of watching The Big Lebowski) I remembered just how much fun bowling could be and found myself wanting to take a trip back to the lanes. That desire was today fulfilled as, sharing a similar sentiment, my friends and I finally got together for a couple of games. I don’t really have anything profound to share about the experience except to say that you should totally go bowling! It’s good fun!
Now I just need to see if there’s an episode of Stuff You Should Know (the world’s greatest podcast) covering the history of bowling, because, when you think about it, it’s actually a pretty bizarre activity.
