This has been a weekend of pseudosports for yours truly. On Friday Ian and I went to play a round of mini-golf at the White Water U Miniature Golf Course. Des Moines isn't known for having the most exciting mini-golf courses, but this is probably the best in town that I've seen. Nothing fancy like in the movies, where there are crazy spinning windmills, Egyptian sphinxes, LA earthquake recreations, etc, but for a course with basically lots of little hills and obstacles, not all that bad either.
They also had go-karts, which I've had a hankerin' to drive lately, but it was not to be. Oh well, I drive my car kind of like a go-kart anyway...
Last night I went bowling, which for the purposes of continuity in this entry I am also referring to as a pseudosport, though the avid bowlers out there might disagree. Is bowling in the Olympics? Hmm, I can see it now, the worlds best bowlers, coming together to compete, beer bellies and all...
And today I went for a bit of a bike ride, though because Ian's bke wouldn't stay in gear, it ended prematurely. One of these days, though, we will take the trail all the way to Carlisle! Dad gave me his old bike today, which is quite a bit better than mine, as Dad has a penchant for buying really good things when he sets out to buy something. He rode the bike 110 miles one day on RAGBRAI, so I'm guessing it should be no problem for using on the trail, plus it has a seat that can be high enough to suit my long legs without falling off the base, unlike my current bike.
Whatta guy, it's Father's Day, and he gave me a bike! :) |
