I bowled in leagues for a fair number of years. The other night, for the first time in several years, I caught the finals of a PBA event on TV. Kyle Troup, son of sartorial bowling legend Guppy Troup won the championship match by converting a split in the first frame and then striking out for a 290. Photos of Troup the elder and magnificently 'froed Troup the Younger follow:

Bowling is a High School sport now. It wasn't back in my day, but it is now. Anyway, my son took to it as a Freshman, making the varsity team then and having a pretty good season. He worked his way into being named Captain by his junior year and as of this past week, completed his final season as a High School bowler by rolling games of 203, 204, 254 and 181 in the championship tournament. He was the top individual bowler at the match, though his team lost by 28 pins. Nonetheless, it was the first time his school had been in the championship, so that was cool, and he bowled as well as he ever has, so I was very proud of his leadership. He still has sectionals to go, and if he or the team is good enough, he or they could move on to districts and even states (though I'd think state's unlikely). He did well enough to move on to districts as a sophomore. Missed them as a Junior by something like 17 pins. After that... his last season of high school baseball.

I don't know how I have two kids over 18 in that I'm only 26... seriously, time goes really fuckin fast.
