Legendary comic actor Don Knotts passed away today due to complications from lung cancer. True TV fans will always remember him for his portrayal of Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith show, and later one as Mr. Furley on Three's Company. He was also in many Disney movies including the Apple Dumpling Gang. I read that along with his family members, Andy Griffith was at his side when he died. Griffith describes Knotts as a life-long friend. I cannot think of anyone who could have played Barney Fife any better. The bumpling deputy to Sherif Andy, who was only allowed one bullet to carry around. But he was also a deputy with a heart of gold. When he had to replace the Ropers, he had big shoes to fill, and he did a wonderful job. John Ritter and Knotts made a brilliant comedic team. Furley thought of himself as a macho man-stud, who had no problem with the ladies. But truth be told, wasn't good with the ladies at all. When he played Mr. Furley, he had a bit where he did really bad karate chops when he got angry and acted like he wanted to fight. I still imitate that bit to this day. I grew up watching TC; therefore, this particular death is kind of hard. Not quite as hard as John Ritter's death. Luckily, Knotts did live a long, full life. His passing isn't shocking like Ritter's. One good thing is that the two are back together again. Rest in Peace, Don Knotts. And thanks for the laughter and the memories.

This blog is dedicated to my friend, Roland. He was actually a friend of my girlfriend. But I still considered him my friend as well. He was extremely funny, very talented and a really nice guy. He liked to make up new song lyrics to popular songs, which is something that I’ve been doing myself for a dozen years now. I love that kind of sense of humor. (You have seen that side of me in the caption game.) He has a lot of great stories that make me laugh when I think of them. I can’t repeat those stories here, due to the TOS. He played the trumpet in swing bands. He’s also played at the annual Jazz festival in Sacramento. (That’s big, when you have that gig.) His knowledge of music was quite impressive. I don’t quite understand exactly what happened, so some of this is probably not quite right. But here it goes. He had been suffering with heart problems, diabetes and poor circulation in his legs. He went in to have a procedure on his legs. With a tourniquet on his leg, they injected something in his leg. They took the tourniquet off too early, and it allowed the foreign substance into his blood flow. It killed him almost instantly. He was just shy of 32 years old. I didn’t know him long. But in an era of when it’s difficult to meet new friends, and my older ones are always busy with their children, you realize that you can really use all the friends that you can. Even though he was my girlfriend’s friend, I did like him. One thing that’s really bad, is that because my girlfriend and I had recently broken up, I hadn’t seen him in a while before he died. This Monday will mark the two year anniversary from when he passed away. Wherever he is, I hope that he’s in a jam session with the greatest musicians in history. He’d love every minute.

Wow. I had the worst day today, average wise in a long time. 124, 101, 115 and 131. The average for the day was 118. :cry: My overall average dropped to 130. I was so lousy today, I can't believe it. And my new friend from work was out of town this weekend, so she was not around to join me. At least I would have been in good company, even if I did bowl so lousy. Better luck next time.

My scores today were not great. 119, 132 and 109. But at least I managed to break 100. My average was 120. My overall average dropped two points to 132. On the plus side, a friend of mine from work (of the female persuasion) joined me today in bowling. Her scores were much better than mine. But she used to bowl semi-professionally, so I had no allusions of being as good as her. She didn't laugh at me, so that's a plus. LOL She'll probably bowl with me again in two weeks. I rather bowl crummy with company than bowl great alone.

I had great scores tonight! My first game was a 170, which is the best I've done in a very long time. It's my highest since I've started bowling regularly again. My other scores were 145, 136 and 112. My average for the night was 141. And I raised my overall average from 132 to 134. I had some good throws tonight. Some really good strikes, where the ball hit the pocket just perfectly. I had my first turkey this year. (Three strikes in a row.) In fact, I had two turkeys tonight. It was great fun!

136, 125, 146 And 132. Pretty consitant. I had some good strikes today. I'm pretty happy with the scores. My average for the day was 135. My overall average remains at 132.

Not a great night. Anytime I don't break 100, I'm pretty disappointed. 96, 155, 114, 116 Avg for the night: 120 Total Avg: 132 I knew that I would have games like this, which is why I'm practicing. I'm trying to get it out of my system before the league starts. I have plenty of time to shake the rust off. I'm hoping to go again Saturday. Hopefully I'll do better then.

My scores today were 125, 165 and 135. The average for the day was 142. My scores from last Tuesday were 119, 147, 122, 162 and 123. The average for the day was 135. The average between the two days was 137.
