Lucas: Playing Hooky

Posted Mar 11, 2011
Some families go to Yellowstone. Ours goes to Greensboro. That's the way it has always been, ever since I was in third grade. When my teacher found out I was going to the ACC Tournament, she said if I'd make a sign with her name on it and got the sign on TV, she'd excuse the absence. I didn't get any airtime, so in subsequent years my parents would write me a note on Monday after the ACC Tournament explaining that I'd been "sick". (Tar Heel Blue)
