MS State vs AL

Greetings from Columbus, MS. Right now we're in what is considered neutral territory for today's big game.

Folks in the hotal are dressed in fan finery -- both sides. For now they'll get along, but come 6pm they will be competing.

We're staying at a hotel next door to where the AL team is staying. Last night, with several busses and police escort, they went out to dinner.

We had dinner at a cute little Italian joint. They had good tiramisu. Today's big meal will be brunch at the popular meat-n-three downtown.

Speaking of downtown,chances are you have seen this downtown before. It was Jimmy Stewart's hometown from the ever-popular Christmas classic, "It's a Wonderful Life."

Much of the film was shot in this town, including that famous gymnasium/pool scene. That's at Mabel's college.

Oh, and this was also Jenny's campus in Forrest Gump! Just a bit of town trivia here.

We will spend the afternoon here then drive back home. Just needed a bit of Mabel sunshine.

:-D)
