A Little Nostalgia

Last night I played my last hockey game of 2007. I also played my last game with my gloves, gloves that I have played with for 23 years. The leather on the hands are completely worn out. My fingers poke out the sides of the finger pads. They smell REALLY BADLY. But I love these gloves because they have seen so much, have been with me for so much, traveled so much. They are hand me downs from a good college friend. I am looking forward to breaking in my new gloves, and hope that I can play for another 23 years to give them a fair shot at a special place in my memory banks!
