My family loves bowling. I mean, we get down-right serious about bowling. Its become a family past time and there are lot of us so it really becomes the Olympics of the family when we all get together. We are a competitive bunch, too.

He kept the accelerator pushed down and watched as the needle climbed, slowly and steadily, towards the magic number that would free his heart and clear his conscience.
