Congrats Robert

Last night my Sister Kim called and was very happy and somewhat ecstatic. She even Blogged about it. The state bowling tournament was this past weekend and Robert, as he does every year, was bowling in it. This is probably the states biggest bowling event, and on a big stage.

Earlier this year Robert had gotten 11 strikes in a row and just missed a 300 game. Well, I guess he can finally lay that memory to rest now with his perfection that he threw yesterday.

Every sport has a moment of perfection, where it is the dream that everyone wants to accomplish. In Baseball it is the walk off home run, in Football it is that game winning Touchdown. Every sport has its moment of supreme accomplishment, some are more easily obtainable than others. In Bowling, it is to complete the ever elusive perfection of throwing twelve consecutive strikes in one game and rolling a 300. It is a rare feat that is a lifetime accomplishment. Robert now can claim that achievement with his first career 300 yesterday.

Congrats to Robert and Thanks to Kim for catching it on Camera. She has the whole game captures, and she is planning on putting all ten frames into one movie file. The Final ball.
