Slowly but surely, I'm putting the first 3 weeks of the season behind me. To recap that, I was standing about 17 pins below last year's average after 9 games.  And I wanted to improve this season a minimum of 4 pins, so I have had my work cut out for me.

Over the last 21 games, I've come back pretty strong, averaging about 212, and last night's 673 helped quite a bit.

I'm a little ticked at myself because I had a chance for a 700, but did myself in by fanning on a 6-pin in the middle of the third game and leaving a greek church in the 10th when I needed a strike for a 5-bagger to give me a chance at it.

Outside of those mistakes, and a whiffed 10-pin the second frame of the night I was pretty much in control of what I was doing, and really smashing the pocket, carrying well, feeling good.

The average is up to 204, and I feel like this upward movement is something sustainable where I can reach my goals for the year now.
