This week, I realized I will see a day where there won't be a house left with those familiar dark boards that hint to a visiting bowler where the house shot is commonly played. Sure some sythetics have places to watch for a bowler's break point, but that's not the same. Fear is the path of the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Don't worry, I won't suffer. Sure, stereo surround sound and stadium seating are wonderful innovations, but so was laying down in the back of a hatchback and being able to talk through the movie if I wanted. Seriously, I'm not afraid of synthetics. I can't even say I have a preference between the two. And the only suffering I will be doing will be when I don't have that wooden lane option available to me anymore.
