What’s a Grinder?

It was a nice cool morning at the Jerry Long YMCA.  I was not sure who was going to show up since I had seen no HC’s last night.  Either way, I was armed with my ChatGPT workout.  This was my first time using it for this purpose and I realized...

The date was 10-9. Sure, YHC could have gone the easy route, celebrating opening night for his beloved Carolina Hurricanes and the inevitable casting out of the hated Devils from New Jersey tonight (Club level seats with Bloodsport and my...
