I attended the Arkansas Municipal League winter conference in Little Rock on Wednesday through Friday. The conference was well attended. If fact, I think that it was the largest attended winter conference ever. The program was very good. I got to visit with a lot of my friends from around the state. I also met a large number of other officials from around the state.

On Thursday night I went to dinner with my friends from Truman. It has become a winter conference that I go to dinner with the group from Truman. We joke that they adopt me for the Thursday evening meal.

I got to visit with one of my old friends from north Arkansas. We have been friends for several years. He has been ill for the past several years. He had to miss a term as Alderman because his health was so bad. He has recovered and was elected again to the city council. It was good to visit with him and his wife. They have been dear friends for years. I have been keeping up with him during his illness.

I am watching a football game now. This morning I worked in the garage. There is still a lot of work to be done.
