Yesterday I thought I posted a pretty touchy subject and I was kinda hoping to get a little more reaction from it but today I see that there are no comments :( I really enjoy seeing comments, good or bad, it gives me a feeling that people are actually reading this.

Bowling last night was fun, there are alot of interesting people that make the evening very entertaining! We finished our first quarter in 4th place, not bad for a team that isn't too serious about the sport. Our team is also second place for "team high score" right now (1200) which could easily change by the end of the year.
