I went to Starkville yesterday to watch Mississippi State play Ole Miss. I met Pat's brother in Tupelo and he went to the game with me. The weather was excellent and the crowd was very good.
At the game I met a man from Iuka. He graduated one year before I graduated. I have probably not seen him in forty years.
Mike (Pat's brother) asked me if it bothered me if he cheered for Ole Miss. I told him to cheer for whomever he pleased, I was glad that he was able to go to the game with me. He cheered for Ole Miss during the game. That did not bother me. I went to cheer for Mississippi State and enjoy the game, which I did.
When we got back to Tupelo after the game we ate dinner at Cracker Barrel. I enjoyed having someone to talk to and watch the game with.
OH-----BY THE WAY MISSISSIPPI STATE BEAT OLE MISS 41 TO 27. THEY WON THE 2009 EGG BOWL.
On the way home from Tupelo I listened to the LSU - Arkansas game. It was a very exciting game. I got home and was able to watch the last part of the game with Pat. Bad news is that Arkansas lost 33 to 30 in overtime.
I have enjoyed watching Mississippi State play football games this year. Just about all of the games were very competitive and MSU had a chance to win most of them, but in the end MSU only won five games. The attendance at MSU was excellent this year. They announced yesterday that the home attendance was up over previous years by a large amount.
I am already looking forward to next season.

I spent the morning cleaning up garage and picking up the leaves in the back yard. I have the leaves in one big pile. Tomorrow I will get them out of the yard. I also plan to pick up the leaves in the rest of the yard.
Pat and I went to Kelley's for Thanksgiving for lunch. The food was very good and there in no leftovers to eat for the next several days.
After lunch I took a nap and at the present time Pat is taking a nap. I have watched a little of the football game after lunch. It is kinda of a tradition. Eat turkey and watch football on Thanksgiving.

The city took delivery of a new fire truck this afternoon. We ordered this truck several months ago. I am glad that we have managed our funds and were able to purchase this new equipment for the men to use fighting fires in the city.
I went to the fire department this afternoon and go a look at the new truck. The men were excited to have this new equipment to aid them as they do their work.
The fire truck was build on a 2010 Kenworth truck.

Arkansas took care of Mississippi State yesterday in Little Rock. The final score was Arkansas 42 and Mississippi State 21.
I took a friend of mine to the game. (E.T. Daniels) We had a good time and enjoyed the game. I saw several people from Wynne at the game and I also ran in to a number of my former students from around the state that I taught during my teaching days. The weather was good and the trip to Little Rock is much easier than going to Starkville. I have enjoyed going to the Mississippi State games this year. It has been a good diversion from the business of the city to get away and watch some football games.

I am going to go to Little Rock this morning to attend the Mississippi State and Arkansas football game. I look forward to the game. The down side is that it is supposed to be raining. I am not looking forward to the rain, but I am glad that I will get to see my bulldogs play and not have to make a long trip.
I am taking an old friend of mine with me to the game. I have invited E. T. Daniels to go to the game with me. When I asked him yesterday, he was excited and said that he would love to go to the game with me. He asked me if I had and extra Mississippi State cap. I told him that I did, but since he is a razorback fan he should wear his Arkansas cap. We will be sitting with the fans from Mississippi State. I bought my tickets through Mississippi State, so we will be sitting in the section of seats that were made available for Mississippi State. I have attended every game between Mississippi State and Arkansas since Arkansas got in the SEC a number of years ago. It still seems strange to be in the stands in Arkansas and cheering for another team. I am a Mississippi State and an Arkansas fan, but for this game I am totally a Mississippi State fan.
On Tuesday of this week I attended a ribbon cutting and ground breaking ceremony in West Memphis. The ribbon cutting was for the new Workforce center and the ground breaking was for a new building that will work on developing fuel from a number of products. That work is a program that will involve five community colleges in east Arkansas. I attended these ceremonies because I am on the elected officials board of Workforce in eastern Arkansas.
On Thursday I traveled to North Little Rock to attend the Executive Committee meeting for the Arkansas Municipal League. We had a very productive meeting taking care of the business of the league. It was also good to visit with my friends from around the state.
Thursday night I attended the Crossroads Coalition banquet in Wynne. The program was very good and there was an excellent attendance. This group does very good work for the eastern Arkansas area.

I went to the Mississippi State and Alabama football game at Mississippi State last night. State played well for three quarters, but Alabama blew State out in the fourth quarter. The final score was 31 to 3.
The attendance at the game set a record for State. After the game it took me two hours to get out of the parking lot. I spent the night in Tupelo. I got to the hotel about 12:45 AM. I was glad that I did not have to drive all the way home.
This morning I took a little side trip and made a surprise visit to mothers in Iuka. She was surprised to see me and I was glad that I took the time to go visit with her. I stayed about one hour and then came home. I was tired and after I ate lunch I took a short nap. I feel much better now.
Mississippi State plays Arkansas next week. The game is in Little Rock and the kick off is about 11:30 AM. I look forward to going to the game and not have to drive so long.
