T-shirt #301: HOLY CROSS HOCKEY (Pink at the Rink)

A few things I never thought I’d be writing: 1. This is the fifth Holy Cross shirt I have worn this year and the second that’s Holy Cross hockey (http://www.uscho.com/team/holy-cross/mens-hockey, http://goholycross.com/sports/m-hockey/index ) 2. There’s more Holy Cross to come on the blog. 3. This is the third pink t-shirt I have worn.

Here are my previous Holy Cross and/or pink t-shirts:

I wore this one today because it was a Thursday night that the SPUD (Student Programs for Urban Development – see also: http://www.holycross.edu/departments/publicaffairs/hcm/spring08/features/feature2.html) group from Holy Cross came over to visit Hope Lodge. This shirt was also donated from a former SPUD volunteer…thanks, Ari! Pink is also the official cancer color for October, so I wanted to wear this one before November started. Pictured with me are two of the volunteers who also happened to wear pink tonight…I think pink works a little better for them!

Tonight, we had another rousing game of Apples to Apples and for the first time in a while, I won! Who would have thought that hiccups were so global or that spontaneous combustion was more corrupt (I think that was the word) than Richard Nixon? It was one of those nights when even my throwaway cards were winning…I got really lucky. Win or lose, Apples to Apples always a fun game to play and a great way for guests and the Holy Cross students to mingle…even when the “Dave’s Ass” card isn’t drawn!

Looking forward to more fun Thursday nights with the SPUD crew!
