Michael and Jeremy will be bowling at Tamarac and University today for practice, and then *finally* tomorrow morning far earlier than should be humane, they start the actual process.
For a kid who only got serious about bowling in the tournament about a year ago, Michael has made huge strides. We're not expecting to still be bowling Friday, but he feels pretty good about himself and about how he's throwing the ball. He looks like an entirely different person. There will be three boys from Rocket on squad 1, Michael and Jeremy and also Jared, one of the college boys in the Gold program. Mario will be there to give them any guidance. Jeremy only got serious a few months ago. Through getting his grades to the level (really high, not like just barely passing) where his mom said he could go, and taking lessons and a lot of practice, he's here for the first time too. The tournament he won on Mother's Day might be the highlight of my year as a coordinator. Where else can you get kids to agree to bowl on Mother's Day to help a fellow bowler out? Rocket has four on squad two, and one on squad four I think.
Anyway, it's off to breakfast and then off to the practice sessions. We're staying away from opening ceremonies. Something about the beach, electrical storms, very large bugs and creepy crawlie critters, and putting us in the middle of it that makes me think that might not be the best place to be tonight.
Gotta split,
Ang
