My gosh, I am stoning you to death with pebbles now aren't I? Anyway, yesterday was our first "spirit day." It was in honor of the Detroit Tigers making it into the play offs. This was one of the stranger anomalies in seminary life. It means that we could wear our Tigers colors or paraphernalia to morning prayer and class on Friday. Nothing like this happened last year, I don't recall ever having a dress down day. It was truly a strange occurrence.
Apparently, not everyone got the e-mail or understood it properly which led to quite a scare for me. I walk down in my jeans, boat shoes and Justin Verlander t-shirt to morning prayer, walk in and almost everyone is in school dress! This leads to an "oh crap!" moment when I look at my watch and realize I'm just 5 minutes early, no time to change. I sneak my way into the middle amidst the stares of clerics wearing theologians who definitely did not read the e-mail, not daring to sit in the front as I normally do. I was slightly reassured when other college guys came in jeans and Tigers clothes though I still avoided priests (who were all in the normal dress clothes and clerics) during breakfast until the head of college formation came in and sat down in jeans and a jersey and inside my head I was screaming "VINDICATED!!!"
