Last Friday was the first night of the biweekly lesbian bowling league at Timberlanes Bowling Alley. This is a great little place has 8 lanes to bowl in and a great old bar tucked in behind the lanes. It's located just a few blocks away from where Susan grew up, near Irving, Lincoln, and Damen. What a great vibe this place has!
Susan got a maroon colored ball from a friend from the league who has since graduated to a bigger and better ball. She got it redrilled by the helpful but somewhat odd fellow at the family owned Simmons Bowling Shop just down the street, where the proprietor still rolls out 6 feet of foam rubber for you to try out your new ball on.
It was great to bowl with all the girls! (See photo above :^) The folks I bowled with were really supportive. There are some really great bowlers in the group, however, I do not seem fated to be among them! In any case, Timber Lanes and Simmons are both a very delightful blast from the past -- so delightful that the scores from bowling night are, luckily for me, largely irrelevant!
