The Current staff had a first birthday bowl-a-thon at Bryant Lake Sunday night during the Super Bowl. We did this to demonstrate our immunity to the kind of group-think that demands that everybody watch the Big Game. Also, nobody thought to look at the calendar until after the thing was set. So, while America and the world watched football, we bowled, and we all did it pretty badly because I won the high-score competition with a mere 153.
But here’s the best part: there was a special, secret prize for the winner that our program director, Steve Nelson, kept hidden in a sack. I had to leave early so I wasn’t there when the winners were announced – a big letdown for everyone, I’m sure. I know Steve was discouraged because when I asked about the prize, he said he lost it somewhere on Lake Street. All those guys with crumpled up bags – one of them has my bowling prize!
