Clinton Library

I have spent the day seeing Little Rock and visiting the Clinton Library. I managed to see some other tourist sites and enjoy some local cuisine today. And I still had all the time I needed at the library.

At one time friends invited me to come here so we could see it together. But, I couldn’t go the weekend they had in mind and they didn’t want to wait. I was really disappointed, but things work out the way they’re supposed to. There’s no point in crying over spilled milk as they say.

Today was a good time for me to be here. There was a special exhibit of Christmas things from the Clinton years. Considering how much I love the holidays that was perfect.

They also had a book of condolences to be sent to Gerald Ford’s family.

Many people were signing it. Obviously, regardless of a person’s politics, everyone understands grief.

Being at the library today reminded me of just how much I miss having Bill Clinton in the White House. He is such a smart man. I love smart men. I really love them in high office. I miss him. I want him back in the white house again.

I also visited Central High – famous for the Little Rock Nine, I saw the Quapaw District, and went to Pugh’s Mill which I really enjoyed. I also took in some local cuisine. It has been a busy day.

It is now, officially, 2007. May this be a year when we see peace again. Going through the library today I was reminded of what it’s like to live in a country where prosperity is the greatest in decades and we’re at peace. It seems like it was so long ago, so very long ago. I want it back.
