Double duty breakfast

I spoke to the Sunrise Rotary yesterday on health care reform legislation and its potential effect on states before speaking at the Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Breakfast sponsored by Harvest Texarkana and Randy Sams. Both events were at Williams Memorial. Here's a pretty scary red eye pic from the second breakfast:

Politics and barbecue

Big Jake's Barbecue is in the process of opening an Ashdown location, and we persuaded them to open a few weeks early for a campaign meet and greet there Tuesday night. The talk of the town this week is the Panther football team, which travels to Osceola this Friday for the second round of the playoffs. If they make it through Friday, they'll likely be in War Memorial Stadium in a few weeks playing either Shiloh or conference foe Nashville.
