Page 4 | Thursday, February 18, 2010 | THE BOWLING NEWS Women all over the United States are jumping for joy today as another year of NFL football has ended. This year it was the New Orleans Saints who became the World Champions. Although I wish it were Dallas you cannot help but feel good for the Saints organization and the city. After all that they have gone through, they truly deserve this. As for the rest of you husbands out there, the accumulating list of honey do’s are on the refrigerator so it’s time to get that toolbox back in action and get to work because there is only a couple of more months before the draft. As I am writing this, for the first time in DFW history we are sitting with about ten inches of snow outside the window. I have never seen more than a couple of inches here and I have lived here my whole life. However, the streets were not frozen so we all had to go to work and school. I would also like to take a moment to speak to those of you who have never driven on ice before. First you must understand that the gas pedal means go and the brake means stop, but those are not your only options. If you don’t press either of Starts at 10 PM Check-in 9:30 PM FRIDAY NIGHT Cost: $25 per person them, you can do this thing called coasting. Coasting allows you to not slide when trying to keep your distance between cars. Also while we are on the subject of distance between cars, I would like to let those aggressive NASCAR lovers know that not even Tony Stewart would be foolish enough to tailgate (aka drafting or tail grabbing) in near freezing temperatures. Can’t we all just be slow and steady so we can get to our destinations? Speaking of the snow I couldn’t believe how much my dogs enjoyed the snow. I think Jasmine wants to move to Colorado because according to my wife(Nikki) she hates Texas but maybe wide open spaces and snow is what she needs. Typically I let them outside to do their business and when it’s cold they come right back in. However, this morning they wouldn’t come in for a while. <strong>The</strong>y actually wanted to stay outside and I was more than willing to let them, especially after Lexi’s latest issue. Apparently Verizon FIOS with 100 HD channels is not enough for young Lexi. As Nikki and I were fixing our dinner the channel changed. I looked at Nikki and asked why she changed it and she said she Bowl 4 games (throw out low) Win Place Money (pay out based on # of entries) Win $$$ for colored pin strikes Brackets - High Pots Strike Pots Brunswick Westcreek Lanes 3025 Altamesa Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76133 817-294-0501 didn’t. About that time I looked at the TV and it was on a pay per view channel and I ran around the couch just in time to change it so we didn’t get charged. Lexi was pawing the remote and almost cost us $14.99. However, I think her favorite movie is “Eight Below” starring a bunch of huskies in Antarctica. She likes to snuggle with the TV when that movie is on. I have a question for you. Am I a bad American if I have not one ounce of interest in the Olympics? I must admit part of my irritation is that skateboarding on snow is an Olympic sport yet bowling still isn’t. How can the number one participation sport in the world not be in the Olympics? Also I believe that my interest was shattered when they started letting professionals partake in the games. I mean these people make millions of dollars doing their sport full time. It takes away from the feel good story of the person who gave it all their heart and will never make a dime off of it in the real world. This week’s what’s on Daceman’s DVR is the television show “Lost”. For a few years now I have been watching “Lost”, as I am sure many of you have as well. I really hope that this show does not reveal your intelligence level because if it does then I am a complete idiot. I am so confused with what is going on it’s not even funny. I have rarely ever bailed on a television show that I enjoyed that much, but I am pondering it with this one. <strong>The</strong>y have travelled back in time and switched around so much that I can’t keep up. Currently they seem to be playing two versions of their lives simultaneously. One side is if the plane never crashed and the other is current time on the island. Whatever happened to good ole fashion American mindless television that I so enjoy?
