Exciting week

Well, it's been an interesting week (or two). First, despite the 5 a.m. wake-up call, I made it to our employee balloon ride and had a good time. Because of the unpredictable winds in Albuquerque, flights often get canceled, but we lucked out and...

April showers. ...

Greetings again from Albuquerque. I do believe it has rained once since I've been here, so I am anticipating some beautiful flowers and green grass around town. We've officially passed the halfway point at the 2008 USBC Open Championships, and...

Wow, it's been a while

It was brought to my attention today that I haven't written anything on here in a while. Time just seems to fly by at the tournament. It turns out that Saturday, April 26 is the offical halfway point. That means that by then, nearly 30,000 bowlers...

This and that

I was reading through the message boards the other day and someone pointed out that based on routine, I'd be posting a blog today. I guess it's worked out that since the tournament began, I've been posting a new blog entry every 10 days, which...

This is what it's all about

It is weeks like this that make me really enjoy my job. First, I had the opportunity to call most of the defending Regular Division champions for a story I wrote, and wow, what an amazing group of guys. They were all so gracious and humble and appreciative...

Bayer Classic (Feb. 10) and Pepsi Championships (Feb. 17)

Hello again everyone! First, I'm sorry I missed last week's show, but I was traveling. I did see it when I returned home, and my immediate opinion is that in most of the matches, it wasn't hard to see who had good reaction and who didn't...

Enjoying a couple of slow days

Pretty soon we will be at full schedule, and the tournament lanes will be running nearly non-stop from 7 a.m. until 2 a.m. We did get a taste of it during the first two weekends, but luckily, there are a few slow days early on to ease into it and take...
