Went out to Mesa Az on 2/28 to visit our daughter and son-in -law for a few days before flying to Reno for the USBC. We had a great time with the kids and the 'Grand-dogs' enjoying the sunshine and NO HUMIDITY of the east valley of the Phoenix area.

Flew up to Reno for the USBC,,,,,,,Reno being one of my favorite places in the bowling world (as I have previously written).We had a great time there including winning a decent size jackpot on a penny machine in Harrah's. Notice,I have not mentioned the tournament......all I will say is that I was 50%......15 splits in 30 frames of the team event,12 in the doubles,9 in the singles. In spite of all that, I felt that I bowled much better than my results. Back to Mesa for a few more days of 80+ degrees weather......flew back to NY wednesday......drove up to Elmira, NY on Thursday,preceding a snow storm for a senior regional tourney.

Bowled fairly well........missing a super-senior check by 32 pins.......still leaving too many splits. My favorite equipment was stuck in transit by UPS......(thankyou USBC Bowling Ball Express). Another shipping fiasco involving Reno and me!

Will continue to work on the positive......my game is definitely coming around.......I am back, although not completely.
