Where Did You Go To School?

I have no idea why my tired weary body thinks it should be awake at the five a-m hour on this Saturday. I suppose it has been wound tight like a clock always thinking it is "running out of time". Answering that famous St. Louis question "where did you go to school?" And, we all know that means high school, not college. Which means my answer would LHS, with this week being Homecoming.

How 'bout it friends, shall I share? A few photos of the last couple of days... saving my blast from the past and the present (tonight)for a tomorrow posting? You bet I am going too.

It is Homecoming here in the land of the Flyers. There was Thursday's parade-- the band's third place float (a fall from grace since they usually win first, but the band likes to share glory) and bon fire. I have never gone to the bon fire, can't remember if they had a bon fire in my high school Flyer days? I felt if at any moment Danny Zuko was going to appear.

With all the rain this week the band didn't have a very good half-time show. They hadn't had a full run through since Tuesday and spent Friday morning doing a Fox2 pep rally.

After the half-time show came the big moment. A moment we expected some word about in October, certainly not last night. Just like Princess A, during her Freshman year, M will be spending her [Senior] Christmas break 2011 marching down Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, California in the Tournament of Roses Parade. Here's M the moment after the Tournament of Roses President called and it was piped over the load speaker for the entire crowd to hear the announcement of invitation. Now LHS Homecoming isn't just all bout M, it's about D this year as well. This is her high school now too.
Look who came home to let a little green and gold pump through her veins and enjoy the 38-14 win over the Lafayette Lancers...the Princess.
There was then...

And there is now...
'Cause remember in St. Louis it is all about..."Where did you go to school?"
