Welcome to the barnyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host,

Steve Robertson, here on Christmas Eve Eve. Hope you are well today. Lots to look forward to this

week. I hope that you have been good boys and girls this year, so you will get your just reward

later this week. I hope that's the case.

It has been a couple days since we've been together,

and I apologize for not doing an episode of I am C. VAR in a while.

I've been exceptionally busy.

Trying to finish up the holiday book tour.

Today will be the last signing of 2020. I will be at the lodge lodge from 12 to 4 so by the time many of you listen to this that will already be ongoing or be over but looking

forward to that one of the things i wanted to do here at the very end is support our local merchants

and so i didn't do a lot of travel towards the end this

year and there are some bookstores in Mississippi like Barnes and Noble, Lemery that aren't doing

book signings so that kind of played into it as well last year the week of Christmas I did a book signing

every day all the way up to Christmas Eve and this year I'll be honest with you I didn't have it in me

But it's been a great run and I got news over the weekend that Alpha dogs still on the Mississippi best sours list

And I want to thank all of you for that

So many of you have been so supportive over the years and I'm

internally grateful and as I share with some people I love last night this has been a great

time in my life to be able to write these books and to share the Mississippi State story

with other generations and there's a lot of our stories that you know we're kind of buried and lost forever

and that pains me a great deal but I have been very very grateful for so many people that have

shared their Mississippi State experience with me and we've been able to publicize that
