This weekend, my college alma mater is celebrating Homecoming. This involves alumni making a special trip back to campus for all kinds of festivities where the alumni are the honored guests. Of course there is a parade of floats and a Homecoming Queen who must be crowned and the pageantry is spectacular.

And that brings me to think about my high school. Grancey and I went to different high schools in our hometown and we are now fortunate enough to have moved "back home." Therefore, we live in the town where we went to high school. Both of our high schools have Homecoming games every fall. Both of our high schools crown a Homecoming Queen at that game. But what else is there?

We are never invited back to our high school campuses for anything. All of the reunions are during the summer. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if I went back to my high school one afternoon during Homecoming week and wandered my 45-year old ass up and down the hallways I'd be arrested before I could get out of the first building. "Freakin' PERVERT" they'd all yell at me.

So what is High School Homecoming supposed to be?
