Back in Arkansas; late night trip to Fayetteville

I made it back home last night at 10:00 (without luggage). I have to be in Fayetteville this morning at 7:30 a.m. for the final session of Leadership Arkansas, and since my body is still on Algerian time (+6 hours), it felt like 4:00 a.m. when I got home. I snuck in three hours of sleep and am now about to head up Hwy. 71 with a large thermos of coffee. We'll adjourn at 2:30 in Fayetteville today, and I have to get back to speak at the NFL Hometown Weekend Banquet tonight at Texarkana College at 7:00 p.m., so I'll hurry back down Hwy. 71 for that.

Update (4:30): It's hotter in Arkansas than it is in Africa. I stopped here in Mena to get some gas and broke out in a sweat. And it's 4:30.

Update II (7:40): Made it to campus and am listening to Frank Broyles talk about leaduhship.
