Suiting Up And Showing Up.

Today was an interesting one. I felt out of sync with just about everything I did. It started with getting up earlier than usual and with less sleep. It fascinates me how the mind and body work so differently when not rested. Everything appears flat to me . It must affect my depth perception somehow. If you remember yesterday I was coming to terms with a situation I felt was unjust. Today proved to be quite entertaining and educational. My friend and teammate is the secretary of our league. He is the one who had to file the protest and do the score audit. I was there to help and give moral support. We all have our areas of strength. Johns' is negotiation and leadership, he exudes a quiet authority that naturally inspires trust and respect. This can be a useful quality when dealing with overbearing bullies who throw their weight around simply because they can. The villain of this tale shall remain nameless for the purpose of discretion. References to her shall be under the assumed name Mildred. I encouraged John to file this protest and do the audit. I think he was willing to let it be, which may have been the wiser move. We shall see what becomes of this tempest we created. So John painstakingly started going through each score of each team for each time they played for 6 months worth of bowling. I read off the numbers and checked addition. About an hour into this accountants fantasy, we noticed Mildred had put various notes about deducting points for various reasons. We double checked them and began to find discrepancies. John was very calm, but I sensed he too began to see a ray of hope for the downtrodden Armadillos. I don't remember who first decided to check the handicap limits for each division. I'll give John the credit, because he drew the dubious honor of notifying Cruella(Mildred) of this new development. It turns out that the team claiming victory over us was playing with an unfair pin advantage. Had it not been for the greediness of Mildred to take away points whenever she deemed appropriate,we never would have caught the mistake.To make a long story short it would appear we did win. How all this will play out is yet to be seen, but barring anymore rabbits being pulled out of hats, we will take our rightful place amoung the exalted once again. I will borrow a quote from Paul Newman in "The color of money" "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." It's late and I'm running out of gas. I'll explain about differential relaxation and yoga tomorrow. Submitted for your aproval. Jody
