So Michael joins me in the 400 club this week, officially earning $400 for his 26th place finish at the state Pepsi tournament. The Rodriguez Bowling Team did pretty well this week--my winnings will go toward the trip to Buffalo and his will no doubt be added to what he's amassing for wherever he decides to go to college. It has been such a nerve-wracking month waiting for the results--worse ever since I looked at last year's results and realized he had earned some serious scholarship, and not the $100 or so he's used to if he wins an event. Heck the first place kid received like $2500--I would never have been able to stay in the building to watch that had Michael bowled that well. I would have sat in the car and someone would have had to tell me when it was over.
In the hunt for Buffalo, we've gotten our hotel and airline tickets arranged, with a short detour to Baltimore to see my father before Michael competes. We have the kids practicing on Sport and Michael's school work is slowing down to the point that hopefully he will be able to practice and get in top form for Jr. Gold. Still need to rent a car, get the kids team shirts and we'll see from there what else needs to be done. I almost have to wait for the kids to get out of school to get the rest of this stuff done.
The big rush is on to get the Summer bowling passes out. Michael and I have already managed to get out nearly 40,000 passes out. And I'm not sure how many more are in the boxes, but I'll keep going until I run out of passes or I run out of time. Hopefully I run out of passes first.
Gotta split!
