Ya Ba Da Ba Doo!

My View 

I can't believe a week has passed and it's Family Fun Friday again.  Last week we went bowling.  It was raining and our planned skating activity was kiboshed.  Secretly I would choose bowling over skating any day, but don't tell the Agronomist.  How unCanadian of me. . . I know,  but my reasons are strongly researched and would hold up well in court.

Bowling Court.

Yes your Honour,  it's warm, there is a snack bar, there are many breaks between the bouts of tremendous physical exertion,  falling is unusual not a given, and last but not least, those shoes you get to wear are darn funky! (not to mention comfortable)

Five Pin Bowling is where it's at folks, on so many levels.

It has educational, physical and emotionally satisfying virtues.

Fred Flintstone was a genius.

It is an educational experience, as reading and math are required to participate.

Physical stamina is required and deep breathing is used when waiting for the pins to detangle.
This well known Yoga "bowlng" pose is aptly named Yoga Lane Pose,
not to be confused with the popular Yoga Lion Pose.
As bowlers in these parts have been known to throw out anyone who roars and sticks their tongue out while waiting for their pins to realign.

Any frustrations you may have inadvertently carried in with you

can be smacked to high heaven with the swing of a brightly coloured, round, palm sized, dead weight. Visualization can also be used in this process, 

creating a firm picture of that which you choose to annihilate. 

Strong words, I know, but oh so cathartic.

The exhilaration one feels when those taunting white pins keel over, is next to none.

All I can really say to express my admiration for this fine sport is:

Ya Ba Da Ba DOO!

(How can you not LOVE this sport with that kind of view?)

(Yes Your Honour, Guilty As Charged)

(Yes Sir, I do realize this is a family show)
