Teri Stafford and I left for the Union County Bar Association meeting from the Holiday Inn Presidential in Little Rock at 8:30 a.m. once I printed out my speech in the hotel business center and headed down on a beautiful sunny day to El Dorado. The drive was fantastic.

That afternoon Teri Stafford [...]

Monday—you guessed it!—began bright and early at Pilates with Claudia. Right afterwards I headed to the dentist’s office for my check-up with Dr. Walt Henderson.
