Good morning. I see Bkuesky has figured out the whole age-gating crisis, so I am now able to regularly post again. So here’s today’s sunrise.

G Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day was a beautiful one.

Unnamed source in the Grove spills the tea on the Kiffin coaching saga. Film at 11

Ollie and Dill had a busy weekend.

Riiiiiight. 🙄

Tuesday night northern lights.

Ollie’s first bath.

Thank you, veterans.

Frosty morning in the Sip.

Ollie!

I went to my the game with my friend Kenneth Williams. Kenneth is from Corinth, has run 65 marathons (or 85, I may have that wrong) and ran 22 consecutive Boston Marathon. He’s a positive influence on his community and me. He’s just a great guy.

t was set up as a field goal for a Planet Fitness card. It ended up as a marriage proposal and a Lane Kiffin photobomb. And yes, she said yes.

Approaching a legend. #farley

Ollie a little over five months old and he already has the reacting guilt face when I leave for work.

The semester is half over. My take on the students I interact with. They have hopes, dreams, fears, and plans. They also just want to get through the day like the rest of us. But many of them are sharp and have have loads of drive. That inspires me. And it should you, too.

I didn’t win the lottery last night. My best chance at quickly becoming a millionaire while sitting on my butt is to become a failed college football coach.

My annual post about responding to every outrageous thing you see on social media: if you see a turd floating down the stream, you don’t have to pick it up. You can let I’d float on past.

For reasons only known to the gods and the tech bros (who think they are gods), I have Bluesky at the moment. Thus the reason for the flood of content.

I’ve seen hundreds of movie plane crashes. The UPS MD-11 crash in Louisville is expotenially more terrifying to watch. Lord be with the victims and their families.

It was a strong showing for the Democrats last night. I’m sure ketchup flew in the White House last night.

It’s another gorgeous day on the Ole Miss campus. To quote my old football coach, “I’m just glad to be here. “

Ollie is five months old now and still a big puppy.

Look forward to having a conversation with Jere Nash this Thursday at Off Square Books about his new book.

Mississippi Embassy. Washington, DC.

It’s back to the land of no Bluesky. #mississippi

The nice thing about travel is that o can post in Bluesky. Well, and that I’m travelling

Until next time.

I stopped by. No one was home.

Fifteen years ago, I ran the Marine Corps Marathon. My oldest son cheered me on. Today, I had the pleasure of cheering him on. And he shaved an hour and a half off my time. 😀

Senator Trent Lott and Governor Ronnie Musgrove talk about the lost art of working together. Didn’t have Trent as a moderate voice of reason on my Bingo Card.

Got to be a grand marshal Marshall in Madison today.

Ollie is doing his best Blue Steel.

Spoke on the coast today. Ten hours of windshield time. Mississippi is a very tall state. Here is sunrise near Coffeeville, Mississippi on hwy7.

Things are pretty dry in Mississippi. Saw this brushfire on 49 just south of Hattiesburg. Thankfully first responders were on the way.

According to Jeffrey Shields, who owns this silo near Greenville, Mississippi, it was built by German prisoners of war during the war and that the tree itself is planted in the ground and grew up through the silo. #mississippi #worldwar2 #painting

We have a brief lifting of the Mississippi ban. I hope y’all are going ok.

Ollie update. The little guy isn’t as little now.

Had a good trip to DC for the National Book Festival. Leaving was hard this time because this time, I left a piece of my heart behind. Proud of my son and the life he is creating for himself.

I’ve lived here for nearly 30 years and know this truth: Mississippi is a happier place when its football teams are winning. The birds sing more beautiful songs. The sun shines brighter. Property values rise. That was a great Bulldog finish last night against Arizona State.

I’d like to thank the @mslibrarycomm for choosing my children’s book #savingSam as Mississippi’s choice for this year’s Library of Congress’s Great Reads for Youth list. I’m so proud to have it represent Mississippi at the @librarycongress’ #nationalbookfestival in #washingtondc.

Someone flipped on Bluesky this morning in Mississippi. Just wanted to say howdy.

My dearest, I snuck across state lines to make this post. Things are well in Mississippi of the moment. While clouds have obscured the BlueSky, information is trickling in from beyond our borders. Will send smoke signals if things get dire. Your beloved.

While working on my homework this morning, I thought of one of the most powerful attitude paradigm shifts you can possibly have -- and it is all done by only changing one letter: Instead of thinking "Got to" think "Get to!" #Gratitude

I live in Mississippi. Right now, we can’t use Bluesky due to age-gating legislation. For reasons I’m not smart enough to understand, I can see Bluesky on my iPad. So I just wanted to send out a message to the word: I’m alive.
