Bowling. And the Save

I have been quite frustrated with bowling lately, but this week I was able to save myself complete embarrassment with a really good game at the end of each series. In singles the person I was bowling started off with 240s and was leaving me with little hope of doing anything in singles. I just kept falling further and further behind. The last game however I had a string of about 7 strikes in a row and ended up with a 240 something or 250 something game. I ended up with a 636 series for the 3 games so that last game salvaged my series. I still lost total pins by a lot, but at least I won one game.
In doubles I started off slow again and was having a few problems with my hand where I actually dumped two balls in the gutter in the first two games. We lost those, but I had another long string of strikes in my last game and bowled a 257 for another series around 630.
I can't do too much if it takes me 2 games to figure out a line I can play on a pair. In my first series in my first two games I think I had about 8 pocket 7 pins, so my main issue on that pair was finding a way to get an angle into the pocket that could carry.
Well, I am assuming a majority of the people who would read this have no idea what most of that meant. Oh well.
