A snappy headline escapes me today, but the annual Pens & Pins charity event was held last night, and look who was looking good.
No surprise there.
PensTV has a video feature from the event. Everyone is always having so much fun, from the players to the kids. And who wouldn’t? Bowling makes awkward lumps of us all – except apparently Simon Despres, who owns his own bowling gear.
Work hard, play hard.
For most, even professional athletes, bowling is a great equalizer where success comes accidentally but often enough that you feel you might just actually get the hang of this someday. If not, there’s usually a crane game and maybe even karaoke.
Is it easier to bowl with long arms?
Not Geno, though. He’s a pro. He’s Grease lightning. He bowled two strikes in a row. [Video]
I am score.
How’d everyone else do?
I cannot work Snapchat, people.
Coach Johnston (who I think of as “Coach J,” as if he’s my own coach) seems like a kindly high school principal, guiding his charges into adulthood with calm and poise. I have the urge to ask him what to do with my future, so he can explain it in a way that makes me realize I knew all along.
Right, BSutts? Right.
Check out a few more photos at Make A Wish of GPA & WV. I leave you with this:
All that, and snacks too.

Every day should start with Crosby looking so glorious. The look on that kid’s face says it all.
