Bowling with the BBC

I had my 15 seconds of bowling fame last Friday, when a lovely reporter from the BBC interviewed me about America's love affair with bowling.

Guess she read this lil' ol blog -- which means at least one person besides my mom has.

Jane O'Brien and I had a grand time at the Cowtown Bowling Palace in Fort Worth, where we talked about everything from Fred Flintstone to Barack Obama's recent misery on the lanes. (I hope to have a link to the interview soon, though I'm sure everything we chatted about won't make it into the final cut.)

Jane had not bowled often, but I coaxed her into giving it a try, and with only a few pointers, she quickly made two spares in a row. Obama, eat your heart out.
