Message me if you are interested…low miles, 2005 GT 200, made in Italy under the orginal Piaggio/Vespa name…

To Kelly Kulick…..her win yesterday at the PBA Tournament of Champions was historic! This is the first time a woman has won in an individual, male-dominated sport….

Kelly is a hard worker, always professional, and well-deserving! 2-year exemption as well with her prize money.

I am selling my collectible 2002 Brunswick Spongebob Bowling Ball on EBAY this week…

My photoblog. I am happy saying everything I need to say right now with my camera…….

Something mysteriously occurred about a month ago. My 1999 US Open highlight video disappeared from the web.         Entirely.

First, I discovered it gone from Youtube, then of course the link here did not work. I have a decent ability to track down the most abstract web items, and my search was in vain. My buddies @ the PBA Forum had nothing to add in my search. I have the ability to pull up old web pages from previous incarnations of kimadler.com (did you know I had a blog on my site waay back in 2001-2002? Blogs were not common then) I can sift through entire websites that don’t exist anymore. But the dang video was gone! If it were as simple as an ESPN TV rights issue, then all of my bowling videos and videos of all pro bowlers, and as a matter all sports TV shows on Youtube would be gone as well.

So, my DH, the original digitizer of my clip, dug out the original video from our own personal archives. I have re-uploaded it to Youtube, as well as here. Did not intend on this becoming such a big deal…well, it became a mission. (So…I win now)

Enjoy (again)!

and I care. I am watching faithfully Lance pull off an 8th victory, and July days are sweet! His cancer fight is stuff of legends. Give others a chance at a full recovery here by signing Lance’s Livestrong initiative: http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=8dJFKVNyEeKHK0L&s=aiLKJXMIKnJWK0MJIuE&m=eqIHLXNzEfL1F

He’s looking for 30,000 to sign before the TdF ends in about a week so that an anonymous donator will match $30,000 dollars.

Healthcare is such on the forefront these days. Let’s include Cancer research and treatment, as it it is the #1 disease killer…and that is my soapbox for the day.

My little (or towering, depending upon your vantage point) student Elise Bolton is at JOG bowling her heart out. Give her a shout out and watch bowl.com for JOG standings!

Away from studying & work, I have found fresh air and gardening….more specifically in roses. I though high maintenance would be too much, espeically looking out my back window. But, then I found, appropriately: “Strike it Rich”: Fortuniana rootstock in a Hybrid Tea, perfect in FL conditions:

How could I resist? Good luck to all at the USBC Queens/National this week: I am thinking of you all…

…of USBC Women’s Championships next month in Reno. Could not reschedule my final exams, and studying (again) is the priority. Trust me, I am bummed. Still love “puring a shot” off of my hand. Now, if I could only do that 12 times in a row without any practice!

…about the “guy who bowls with 2 hands in the paper/news?”  Jason Belmonte is making news, and it is rather, more significant news when people in my medical world are asking me about the bowler I have never met. It takes a good amount in bowling to bridge into nonbowling news!

Bowling with 2 hands is not a new idea, but Jason has become a top ranked bowler so it is cause for debate regarding success. I believe every top bowler at one time or another has tossed a 2 handed shot to see what would happen. I probably doubled my rev rate in my few attempts. But, for me it was impossible to keep the ball on the lane. Accuracy may be hindered, so Jason makes it look very easy.

Good for him!
