For those of you noticing the "education" spin I've been on for nearly a year, take heart. I'll be concentrating that information on my new site, LAUSDMagnetAngel.com.
For the bowlers, coffee drinkers, and the roller coaster people, BowlnDiva.com will begin to resume more normal publishing. Quick notes:
On bowling. I was invited to actually bowl in a tournament next weekend--only two months since my last attempts at bowling. It's great to be needed--horrible average I've been carrying while on hiatus. The knee is better, and the tournament is at the center I hate (it's hard to explain, I score well there, but it never matters where the ball is thrown). Michael absolutely ROCKED the house in Daly City for state Pepsi. For the kid that originally missed the cut at our regional Pepsi event by a spare, he certainly made the most of it by finishing 26th in the entire state when he became an alternate. The most sincere thanks go out to aura-providing Charlie Kennell because without his guidance the boy wouldn't have listened to advice from mom. Zoe is off bumpers officially this summer. She'll still be with the bumpers for the summer league since we merge the elementary through college kids for summer, but she and at least three other kids are *sniff* all grown up.
On coffee. Michael's attempts to get employed by Starbucks have been a bit hit/miss. He got called in immediately for an interview based on his application, but I have a hunch the under-18 thing is going to hold him back if he doesn't find a little neighborhood store. He followed up and was incredibly thorough with the store he wanted to work at, and in the end, when he returned to find out if he got the job, they were pretty rude. So they've lost a customer.
On rollercoasters. We found out that Darien Lake is no longer Six Flags, and honestly it really appears that every coaster they have is a copy of a Magic Mountain ride. So while in Buffalo, we'll go across the border but we won't be going to Darien Lake. I'd like to hit Disneyland one more time before our passes blockout, but we only have a couple of weeks. And this summer, we have a couple of free passes for Magic Mountain, so I'll spring for the ridiculous $15 parking and see if we made the right choice when we dumped the SFMM passes two years ago for Disneyland.
I'll be back more often now, and I hope that everyone is doing well.
Gotta split,
Angel
