I’m in a nice Marriott with a panoramic view of a golf course with brown fairways. I suspect they must green them up sometime during the year. Because of my unusually early arrival yesterday I had the luxury of writing most of the day. Up again this morning at 4 […]
Gotta love flying… Spent Sunday in Bentonville with my daughter. Took my oldest grandson to Avatar 3D… Very cool BTW. Woke up 3:30AM to catch a flight to DFW via Memphis (not the most direct way to get from Arkansas to Texas). I get an email saying the airplane was […]
I spoke at a dinner last night at Harding U. without a “net” meaning no Power Point, which was fun. The talk was greatly helped by the librarians and teacher’s good humor. I love gift baskets. Thanks! Today I’m doing three more programs today then heading over to Bentonville. I […]
