Short run too, probably.

In fact, I spent many hours learning from him, and then even more in practicing the lessons on the lanes. I have a friend, actually a customer, who carries an average in several leagues of well over 200. One time, I was relating to him that the previous night I just couldn't dial into the lane conditions. There was virtually zero ball control that evening. I told him some of the techniques I applied, and basically what he shared was that I was approaching the game from a far too technical stance, and probably over-correcting. He said that when faced with a similar situation, he just bowled as he always does, and the conditions took care of themselves.<br /><br />We can't "unknow" what we know. The historical details, proper interpretation of figures of speech, linguistics challenges, verifiable authorship, and many other aspects have radically expanded most of our horizons with regard to this, the world's most popular and revered book. Sometimes, I wonder if that isn't too technical, and whether we'd be better off simply reading the book, seeing what nuggets could be found and utilized.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
