Weekend doings

Ok first things first. I bowled Friday night, but this time I had my own equipment. No pink house ball and rental shoes. I bowled a 127 146 153. My average continues to climb slowly so I am sorta proud of that. Yesterday was a fun day. My cousins were worried that I wasnt enjoying the local entertainment scene, so they took me out for shopping, Chineese food and a semi-semipro hockey game. The Fairbanks Ice Dogs at the Big Dipper. Its just what it sounds like. Rowdy raw and high energy. Kids ( 20-25 yrs old ) playing for 50 bucks a game wearing jerseys with the local print shop's name or Gene's Chrysler Jeep. Stuff like that. It was a chippy game won by the Ice Dogs against the Kenai Brown Bears 2-1 in OT. Building holds 3000 people and it was pretty full for a Saturday Night. All the local gimmicks. T-Shirt cannon, raffle drawings and the like. Fairbanks has plenty to do if you have the chance. I lack the cash and the transportation to see the town right, but that will come.

Sounds like you should have stuck with the pink ball.
