The weekly musings of an office gone mad with costume changes.

 

       
School Spirit Day

The office is beaming with school pride today. Most of the team is wearing their college gear while Rockwall/Rowlett editor Dawn Redig and I wore high school duds. Back in the day (class of '96 to be exact) I was part of a senior spirit group and we all wore jerseys with our nicknames on the back. Mine was Squeaky. That's right. Squeaky and if you have met me, I think you know why...my voice is kind of, well, different.

Dawn wore a Rockwall-Heath t-shirt and even brought a stuffed animal of their mascot, a hawk that actually cawed when you squeezed it. Lake Highlands editor Jocelyn Delgado went all out with her Baylor foam No. 1 finger, Baylor bear, Baylor flip flops and Baylor sweats. I tell you what, those Baylor folks are fanatics! Layout/copy editor Ryan Claunch donned purple shades to represent TCU. If you look close he's making that funny hand sign thingy for "Go Frogs!" And Garland/Wylie/Sachse editor Emily Goldstein was all Mizzou. Even down to her t-shirt underneath her hoodie. Emily has decided that hand signs are overrated...Mizzou doesn't have one, which is sad because even my high school has one - our fingers spell out V-O-L for Bowie High School volunteers.


However, being that I had a short stint in Nebraska, I'm wearing a Nebraska Huskers hunting cap that just happened to match my school colors. I don't hunt. The hat was a gag gift from an old friend out there in North Platte. The best part: My dad dropped by to drop something off to me and he happened to be wearing a Belvue University t-shirt I gave him from Nebraska. It wasn't planned, I promise!

School will be in session in less than a week! I hope you will take time Monday to post your photos, stories and videos here at neighborsgo.com so we can run your news in an upcoming print edition. 'Go' Team!
