    Traveled to Raleigh for the Senior Games next week. I'm only in bowling but believe it or not Macon County (Franklin) may be small but we have a large group coming here. My son and his family live in Raleigh so we stay with them and get a visit with family also.

    One downer is that I may not get to watch the Florida - Kentucky game live. Believe it or not Raleigh NC doesn't have the same level of interest in the Gators as in Florida. :)

    Good luck to your teams this weekend.

    Yep!

    We do it at a local level in late April and early May, then if you qualify at the State level in October then there is a National level every other year. I haven't, and don't intend to, go to the National competition.

    Do you have to be drug tested? Pee in a cup....which might be a problem with a lot of "old" guys to test!! :)

    In my only event, bowling, I had a bad day.

    Oh well, having a great time and waiting for the Pizza party tomorrow night and opening ceremonies Thursday night where our good friends are the torch bearers for the opening march.

    I'm not sure if Jeanne is going to post on her blog yet or not. It's not quite as high priority with her as with me.

    I bowled 165 - 181 - 140 - 486.

    No film thank goodness. :)
