Passion

Today I am 36 and today I am going to worry about the million things that happen on bout day. The Paper valley Flyin' Squirrels are getting in their cars shortly to make the drive down. I need to wash my uniform still and I need 80 volunteers and roller girls to all come together at the same time and do something wonderful tonight for a crowd of 350 tonight. I always tell people it's like planning a wedding only with hip checks. Any number of things can go awry and have before and the amazing part is we always have fun anyway. Because here's the thing, these women work year round learning this sport and they love it so much they are willing to strain marriages and friendships and work, it is their obsession, their passion and even when the amp for the natioal anthem blows out we skate forward and sing if we have to.
