I don't think I have it any more. <BR/><BR/>It was in a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlepin_bowling" REL="nofollow">candlepin bowling</A> league. Candlepin is a lot harder than tenpin as far as actually knocking pins down, but the balls are the size of bocce balls so it's easier for kids.

It was a full house and everyone was dressed up. I didn't intend to do this, but it just seemed appropriate. As you know I am very creative (yea - right) and so I dressed up as a pregnant housewife. I put my hair in curlers, wore this god awful big moo moo thing, covered my face in foundation to make me look washout, wore some old lady slippers and grabbed a rolling pin and headed out to the hotel bar in Copley Square. <BR/><BR/>What song could be more fitting for a pregnant girl (besides Gooch's <BR/>Song from MAME or Barbara's pregnant bride in Funny Girl)? - <BR/> "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No" from Oklahoma.<BR/><BR/>It was a hit and even though I didn't win 1st, 2nd or even 3rd place, they still gave me the best award ever - a solid chocolate piano - for being silly and just trying. : )...
