I’ve wanting to order a new Penn sweatshirt for quite sometime. The one (and only) that I own is getting a little ratty, like it may have been washed one too many times. The tassels are worn and even that little, plastic guard has come off. It’s time.

I’m getting ready to spend Easter with my family today. Deep breaths. While I’m excited to see them, I’m a bit apprehensive.
