Hear ye!

Peoples, may I have your attention? I have an important assignment for you all. I cannot adequately express the magnitude of the consequences of this task. I will attempt to, though. It is not a matter of life or death, but it is close. I wouldn't say it is THIS big, or even T-H-I-S big. It is quite a bit bigger than those particular sizes. Were there to be a word or quantity that would be the exact proportion of this impressive job's meaning then I would use it; however, no such things exist. Thus, it is up to me to take on the task of trying to describe it for you (describing the task is not the task itself, though, so no worries there, my friends).

Peoples, this task is pretty important. Actually, I think it is about THIS big.

Peoples, your task, which you do not have an option of not accepting, is to help me bike to work tomorrow and hereafter. Every morning I either wake up too late, or have something after work that I "need" to drive to, or I just don't feel like it. These are not acceptable excuses. So peoples, please, if you are up around 8am PST on a weekday, contact me in some way to remind me that I should be preparing to bike or already be biking to work. If you do not have my contact info, please use your extrasensory perception to will me to bike to work. I am putting my future in your hands because I have butterfingers.

Thank you.

EDIT TUESDAY MORNING: SUCCESS!
EDIT WEDNESDAY MORNING: DOUBLE SUCCESS!

Bowl Shack

If you recall the shack back when I used to sometimes actually post, you'd notice that a few things have changed. Most notably I've added bowlstats. They aren't particularly exciting since I only track my game scores. If I really wanted some interesting information I would try to find stuff like strike and spare percentages, what kinds of spares I pick up or leave, how many splits I get, and other things like that which I feel would be too tedious to track while trying to have fun getting my bowl on. Until someone volunteers to be my bowling intern and logs my results frame-by-frame I'm not going to have any of that info at my disposal. For now, bask in the glory of my session averages and standard deviations!

I didn't record the dates for the first few score logs I kept (prior to April 22), so I just put them in order of increasing average to make it look like I progressed steadily. I have increased my average overall, though. I didn't include my buddy's scores, but I did graph them on my own and interestingly we shared a good amount of peaks and valleys in average confirming that lane conditions are a decent factor in how well we do. Hopefully conditions are good tonight and I can stay in the 170 range of the last two weeks.
