January 21, 2008: Five pin?
So I guess everyone, who is reading this, has been bowling before? Canada has a game called "Five Pin". Here are the rules. Wiki says this:
Five-pin bowling is a bowling variant which is only played in Canada, where many bowling alleys offer it, either alone or in combination with ten-pin bowling. It was devised around 1909 by Thomas F. Ryan in Toronto, Ontario, at his Toronto Bowling Club, in response to customers who complained that the ten-pin game was too strenuous. He cut five tenpins down to about 75% of their size, and used hand-sized hard rubber balls, thus inventing the original version of five-pin bowling.
So anyway we went to play tonight. My first time! David won the first game (he actually got 3 strikes in a row) – Joey won the second game – and I won the third game. 
Not bad! Fun game. Will definitely have to go play again.
This is what the ball looks like. A bit smaller than a bowling ball.
Joey throwing the ball towards the five pins.
David taking his turn.
This was my winning game score Not bad for my first time playing!!!
It is starting to snow. Looks like we might end up with a few inches by tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will
snow in the morning…when I am actually awake.
Snowing tonight in Waterloo
