Time Travel By Rhonda Hansome

Last night I forgot about looking for an apartment. Now in the harsh light of day, may I remind you I'm looking for a 1 bedroom apartment under $1000.00 a month. Stop laughing at me! I'm serious. I want my own little corner of the world for $900.00 a month.

Not a roommate with a cat for for $950.00.

Not a ROOM for $1200.00.  

Not a shoe box size studio for $2000.00!!!

But I digress... Last night I time traveled. 

I have not bowled for a while. The last time was several years ago for my nephew's birthday. 

With me and bowling, what I lack in skill, I make up for with enthusiasm!!!

"How did I time travel?" you ask Dear Reader.  Amazing all three of you have that question.

I time traveled last night when I bowled, drank, cheered and laughed 

with a group of women from my past.  

I was speechless when this "gaggle of goils" came to my Comedy Benefit in June.  

I was so moved, that I promised myself to stay in touch with these women

 I'd spent year after school year with day by uniform wearing day.

In spite of hating bowling, Rosann DeRupo won the bowling prize generously donated 

to the Workshop Theater Comedy Benefit  by 

Bowlmor Chelsea Piers 

When she bought her raffle she knew she'd win the bowling prize via her sainted father.

 May he rest in peace, because we had a great time!

When we get together, magically we somehow become 

Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School for Girls 

"GIRLS!"

 For two hours we let cares and the years melt away. 

 It looks like we're going to make it a regular thing to enjoy each other's company. 

Just the thought makes me giddy like, well, like a school girl. 

We've found each other and I couldn't be happier. 

Well, I could be happier if my hand, wrist, knee and ankle didn't ache from all the bowling fun.

But I guess that's just the price of time travel!
