I tried bowling. But the lady at the babysitting nook at the bowling alley was such a dragon my kids refused to go back there- and I would have been too embarrassed to take them back. My daughter was going through a religious faze and she told the woman she was going to go to hell for being so mean to little children (and apparently she really was mean- from what my daughter told me). I think my daughter was about 5 at the time. Needless to say the woman was slightly annoyed.

<<I might start in a bowling league. That's another game that goes well with a little loosener.>> Grab your wallet, they are the cheapest SOBs ever walked. I did a league one year. One team was made up of some nice teenagers who no fault of their own couldn't stay in. The alley was going to charge the league the $60 for the rest of their lane fees. The league was going after the boy who joined the army. The one thing you don't want in basic training is to come to the attention of your CO. I started a fund with $20 figuring some of the other 43 people might kick in the rest. A few giving a lousy buck. I paid the other $40. The fights and quibbling over one place when the payback was $2 per placement. Now bowling can be fun but some of the league people can be pains in the butt.
