Fireside Lanes Bowling Alley

Oh bowling. You haven't changed a bit. It's been years since I've seen you in your ancestral home of Fireside Lanes, but it's just like I remember! Plastic seats, fabric sunset mural, moist air, sparkly blue ceiling, cheap food and an aroma of desperation and excitement. I've missed you.

It was league night but we scored an emergency lane that they could take back from us if a league lane broke down. We took turns bowling games, getting cocktails and eating mighty fine bowling alley food. Beers and rum & cokes seemed to be the favorite along with giant baskets of fries, nachos, burgers and BLTs. All of them were tasty.

Bump was the big winner bowling a 138, with Mr. Chem coming in at a very close 137. The rest of us ranged all the way down to 81. I blame the booze.
