Over 200!!

Today we went to Elitch Lanes to bowl with T's work people. It was... awkward, at first. But, then it got a little better. The best part of the night, though, for T at least, was when he FINALLY bowled over 200. Apparently this was a goal he'd had for a VERY LONG TIME!!

The keyboard was a little wonky so it was hard to spell, thus, my bowling call sign "Sassafrass" is a little sad. T's ("Dr. Gutterball") ended up being "DrGutterrraaaggh" which, when you think about it, is actually kind of cool.

Also, please disregard my meager score on this occasion. I hold to my claim that my arm was quite tired by this point.

Lonely Suitcase, originally uploaded by Stephanova.

My brother got promoted, but as part of that, he had to move to Las Vegas. (I know, it's weird.) So, my dad and I helped him pack up his apartment into a moving van so he could drive it out there on Friday. Here is the apartment at the end of the day: bare, save his huge suitcase.

(Luckily, after this, we got to go to dinner, and then he spent the night at my apartment, and I got to make him a very nice breakfast (if I do say so myself) so I felt like I got to send him off sufficiently and get to see him before he left. And he made it to LV safely. Now he's sweltering is 115 degree heat. Yeesh.)
