To celebrate my retirement, some neighbors took us bowling this afternoon. It was a fun way to kick off both the summer and the less structured days ahead for me. We had five adults and a two-year-old in our party, so we got adjoining lanes, one with a bumper and one without, and we took turns throwing balls and chasing the kid around.
After one round we took a break, snacked on some fried bowling alley cuisine, and chatted for a bit before returning to the alleys for a second go. This time we logged the adults in one lane and the toddler in the other. In between turns, her parents helped her use the kiddie caddy and roll her ball down its ramp. As she was bowling, I noticed they still had the lane set for three, so I stepped to the screen and deleted the extra games.
"Good thinking!" her mom said. "That will save us a few bucks."
"Well," I answered, "I am retired now. I know every penny counts!"
