SFJAZZ bowling tournament CHAMP!

Annually, following the busy month-long San Francisco Jazz Festival, SFJAZZ has a de-brief meeting, burger lunch and bowling tournament. This year was no exception.

Following the de-brief, in which we go over what worked (lot's of applause) and what didn't (constructive criticism) we all enjoy burgers, fries, shakes, etc. at Mo's upstairs from the bowling alley at Yerba Buena Gardens. After a brief delay our group of about 20 took over 4 lanes and randomly competed in good spirits for a few games. After having to leave early the last few years, I settled in and watched as our Communications Associate, Rob, hit a game 1 high of 138. That moderate score was the one to beat.

After some more laughs, and falls to the floor we stumbled on. In my second game I scored 152 which then became the new score to beat. A few were threatening in their 2nd attempt including Randall, our Executive Director, who kept a close eye on me. In his final frame he only needed a strike or spare plus 2 for the win; and as his nature would suggest he knew exactly what he needed. He missed his spare and I was crowned with the high score...with my the modest score. Today, I threatened to wear a bowling shirt with "CHAMP" in cursive above the pocket but feared being labeled "the most competitive person in the office" again.
