I caved!

I have had it! Whenever I read Dan's blog, I always see his column with "Friends cool enough to blog." And I thought to myself, "self, I think you are cool enough to blog." So here I am world. Jason McGee is now cool enough to blog.

Plus I figured that this platform would let me brag when I want, whine when I want, make fun of Dan (or other people) when I want, etc. So here is my first brag:

The other day I went bowling and I have always wanted to break 200. That barrier has proved so difficult to pass. When I took a bowling class the other year, I bowled a 199. All I had to do was spare on the last frame and I would have broken the barrier, but alas, it did not happen. This year I have came within 3 points of breaking the barrier and nothing. But finally I did it! As you can see in the picture, I was just averaging about 148, and then I suddenly had a breakout beginning. To be honest, I was nervous, and when I followed up my five strikes with a split, and then didn't convert the next frame, I was nervous. How could I let this get away from me. But I made it:)


I really have a reason for blogging, and it is because of all of your blogs. It has been so much fun reading all of my friend's blogs and a great way to see what is happening in their lives. So thanks for all of your examples. As I begin to set my own sails wide open this year, I figured that I want to stay in touch with all of you. Even if it is on an impersonal basis like blogging. I cannot guarantee that all of my posts will be humorous or even entertaining, but then again, I am an engineer:)
