Elegant Exit
Tomorrow is only a day away. And today is a bad-ass type of day. Not only are Todd and Trip on their way up here right now, but I had a wonderful experience over lunch.
Scoot, Nik and I met up at the bowling alley to watch our opponents from this week post-bowl, we're a little addicted to seeing how our record would be affected. While there, we had planned on bowling two games a piece, just for fun.
The fun started quickly for me, four strikes, then a spare, then three strikes. I was easily on pace for my best game ever... except this time, I didn't choke. The second game was almost a reply of the first. After getting print outs of those games, I decided that I HAD to bowl a third game, to see what my series would be.
I ended up bowling my best three games ever – in order, 245, 230, 213 – my previous best was 212. That's a 688 series and a 229 average, pro-bowling scores... scores I'll probably never achieve in one series again.
Wow! Tonight I get to see hang out with my best friends, and tomorrow we start our snowboard trip. What a great day to start off a great week!
Tune in for updates from Colorado – we hope.

About Me
My name is Seth Gunderson and I currently live in Kansas City, MO. I work as an art director at Sullivan Higdon & Sink (it should be noted that Sullivan Higdon & Sink neither seeks, nor exercises, any editorial control over this site) and spend my spare time practicing sarcasm, watching too much television and seeing truly awful movies.
Want more Seth? Fine, weirdo:

wow, what a series Seth. That is truely a great way to start off your weekend. I was kind of aware that you were a bowler from your blog. A friend and I have been bowling twice a week for awhile now. I used to bowl as a kid and have rekindled my love for it. How is your league run, the only league open right now here is the Nascar league and I can only imagine what that looks like. I rolled a 267 a few weeks ago. Good fun. Have fun snowboarding with the guys and be safe on the road.

In honor of this magnificent achievement, please accept a beer on me at some point.
That's freaking incredible Seth. Wish I could have been there to see the look on your face, not to mention the look on Ken's face. Damn. Is there a way to post a high five on this thing?

I just re-found this while doing a search while filling out some medical forms. to try to figure out when I had pneumonia. Ten hours after I watched Seth bowl the best series of his life, I came the second-cclosest to dying that I ever have in my life that I know of. Way to go, Seth, your astoundding performance was so shocking it nearly almost killed me. :)
