Well Jeff got more visitor approvals today but I didn't. That means mom won't get to visit this coming Friday. I guess the Pass Clerk who approves them only works a few days a week so that's why it takes over a month to get approved. I wonder when McK sent his in. I...

I'm starting to settle into the routine of the schedule here. That's both good and bad. Good in that I can now figure out when we are supposed to eat, have dayroom, go to yard or gym. I've even started a personal schedule of showering at first dayroom, sweeping and...

  We had early yard today from 8-9AM and I spent almost all of it doing taiji. I did the 37 and then the 27, to make sure I remembered it, and then the long form nice and slowly. I've pretty much customized my whole unit to me doing taiji in the gym so none of...

I seem to be getting into the habit of waking up around 5AM. Today I just went with it and listened to NPR rather than fight it and try and go back to sleep. It's better to listen to the news than to lie there and let my mind spin.   It's a beautiful sunny day...

Since it rained overnight we don't get yard this morning so instead I'll write a bit about my dreams last night. I don't usually remember my dreams but I woke up several times throughout the night and was able to remember the latest dream so I started reviewing them...

Dennis and I were taken to medical this morning for the last of our physicals. I got a tetanus shot just to be safe and told them about my gluten intolerance to which the nurse said "there's nothing I can do for that." I explained that I monitor my diet myself but if...

Today was a good day. Yesterday dad told me that Stu, my lawyer, was going to come see me. He needed me to sign the bond over to him so he would get paid. I got to try out the razors that I purchased off canteen and didn't lacerate my face. After showering I changed...

So it is pretty common after lock down for the night for this place to turn into a zoo. By that I mean a bunch of the younger guys get bored and start making animal noises. Cat, dogs, cows, sheep, monkeys, you name it. And that will go on for an hour sometimes. It...

  We had first breakfast today, before B side, and afterwards I got to lie on my bunk and listen to NPR. Having an $8 radio makes so much difference. It makes the time so much easier...though it hasn't even been 2 weeks yet. *chuckle*   When we got day-room...

Today I was a little off, a little depressed. I'm not sure why...other than I'm in prison. *sigh* I got to listen to Radio Lab on NPR which cheered me up some. I tried calling Roz several times and eventually figured out I had flipped 2 numbers so the number I got...
