Here's a recap from the City of Clinton's Board of Aldermen meeting from November 7, 2023.

Listen to "A Work Session Suggestion" for more on my proposal for the BoA to meet once a month for work sessions instead of twice a month.

At the December 4 work session, I brought up the possibility of only having one work session a month instead of having two like we have for the past couple of years. Here are a few thoughts on why I believe one work session a month is worthwhile (and why holding a second when needed is still an option).

As always, thanks to Ty Garvey, Drew Mellon and the rest of Don Quixote's Horse for allowing their music to set the local tone for these podcasts.

I had the chance to meet up with recently elected Representative Clay Mansell who will represent those in District 56. This position has been held by longtime Representative and Speaker of the Mississippi House Philip Gunn. We discussed some of his goals and motivations for running.

How often do we give into the habit of (adjacently) throwing in our two-cents when someone else is going through an issue? We're quick to give advice but extremely slow to heed our own words. Too often, those on the outside-looking-in like to show off how much they know and how much their advice is worth. But how often do we find ourselves being "those people?" What would happen if we intentionally changed our habits instead of passively criticizing so many? 

Thanksgiving may be a staple for many, but we all know it gets treated like the middle child when it comes to the end-of-the-year-holidays. How intentional will you be with your Thanksgiving this year? We're not promised tomorrow, so be thankful for today.
