Packing for the session

I'll spend most of today packing up for the session. I won't make either event on my calendar today, both of which are in Pulaski County. A commemorative MLK breakfast will be held at the Deliverence Temple GOGIC in North Little Rock this morning at 8:30, and the Little Rock Touchown Club will hold its
annual awards banquet tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in Little Rock.

Here are some headlines from around the state:
