Holiday weekend at Club Fed. Well, another holiday weekend here at Club Fed is winding down.

Since I normally work weekends and spent seven hours doing some waxing and buffing, the weekend mostly means no mail for three days and a somewhat special holiday menu today.

Breakfast included chocolate milk. I had two 16 oz. cups. First time since Easter 2003 - tells you what kind of life I have when I can remember the last time I had chocolate milk!

Lunch was a double hamburger and two hot dogs, watermelon, fries, and various salads. The usual lunch portion is either a single burger or two hot dogs, so today was a day to eat heavily.

For dinner we were treated to two deserts: two cookies and a 4 oz. Dixie cup of ice cream. My friend Dave has a problem with Lactose and I was the lucky recipient of his ice cream!

Dave works for the psychology department, which shares the building with the chapel. We both spent today enjoying being "alone" and in peace, working along with one officer to keep us out of trouble. Finding peace and quiet among the 1,600 plus inmates here is not easy!

Well, that’s the news from Club Fed for now. I hope you all had a pleasant 3-day weekend and I hope life is treating you well.
