It was "Dress in Your Favorite Decade Day" today at Guerin for homecoming week. Matt thought about it for a bit and decided to dress in the 1940's by wearing a leather bomber jacket, jeans, a white tee shirt, and aviator sunglasses. He looked really cool. He thought no one would do the 40's, which is why he chose it, as he wanted something different. Everyone thought he was role playing Tom Cruise in Top Gun and although he was slightly flattered, he was a little disappointed as he really wanted to be from the 40's. Now, what's not to love about a lot of chicks thinking you look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun???? I don't think puberty has kicked in all the way yet.
I spent five hours at Guerin today doing various volunteer things, enjoyed it all very much, and got the assignment of working with all the teachers/departments for the Open House night by coordinating the activities they will all be offering individually in their room tours that evening. Sounds like it will be just the thing to keep me busy for a bit. I like busy.
Oh, and the best part of today: this morning (obviously my mornings start fairly early as it was still pitch dark outside) the constellation Orion was perfectly framed outside my kitchen window...I know Orion is a fall/winter constellation and we all know how much I love winter (NOT), but I do like the "return" of Orion each year...he looks so magical up there looming over us all...I couldn't resist standing out on the deck for several minutes just to say hello to him...it was a beautiful morning and old friends always make me smile.
