Gibson Gleanings: Conway Library to present program on The Reporter Press – Conway Daily Sun

Back in the 1940s, actor Ray Milland portrayed an alcoholic writer in the movie The Lost Weekend. I was thinking of that movie last week while I sat at home like a sad, sick slug, coughing and sneezing for seven long days. In my case, it was the Lost Week. Please note, any alcohol I might have consumed at that time was strictly medicinal. Its good to be back at work.

The worst part about being sick last week was that I missed the annual luncheon at the Red Parka Pub. Once again, Terry OBrien and her brilliant staff provided our seniors with a wonderful meal. Every January for the past several years, OBrien has closed her pub for the afternoon and invited us over for a fabulous meal. Her staff volunteers to stay to help prepare and serve all this wonderful food. Thanks again, OBrien and staff.
