Nearing the End of my Natural Life


After 48 years of never having played the only sport sponsored by Funeral Homes and Prepaid Burial Plans, I am finally breaking down and playing Lawn Bowls for our office fun function this afternoon.

I associate bowls with old geezers. Both my uncle and my grandfather took it up in their retirement. That said, my wife's team won her office competition drinking session last year, so there is hope for me yet.

I suppose it is inevitable that I have to give up tossing the caber and putting the shot some day. I will just have to ease into it gradually. After all there is free beer to mask the impending onset of virtual old age.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. A friend's wedding reception was in a bowling club (a posh one, in Subiaco) and we, the wedding guests, played for about an hour and a half while the bridal party posed for photos. Most fun I've ever had during pre-dinner drinks. I played so much I even got sore legs from all the bending. A few of the Members stayed around to give us coaching advice and one of them called me A Natural. I'm not kidding, I was ON FIRE baby.

As with many of my posts, this was somewhat tongue in cheek. I used to be ace at indoor carpet bowls, which we played in our hall when I was growing up.
