Ah, Laurie. What a sweet stache you had back in the day.
Ketchup catcher. Cookie duster. Mustard mopper.
Laurie Boschman's pic symbolizes the beginning of a battle
fought in the dark, dirty corners of the NHL boards - the
grind. It's obvious to me that this battle not only takes place
on the ice (when two or three skaters are battling for
possession of a loose puck) but also in every day life as we
fight the continual fight to pay the bills.
When will it end? When will I have everything paid off?
Who knows.
Despite the hard reality of the grind, though, we must also
never give up on our dreams. It's a constant struggle and
I've seen many a friend give up, throw in the towel and live
a sweet 'nerfy' life. As Darrell from The Office once put it so
succinctly to Michael:
'Sittin on your biscuit...
Never havin' to risk it.'
Never give up.
As soon as you give up, you're already dead.
