Goodbye For Now, But I Will Return. Well, it looks like the correction option on this typewriter is not working, so here is hoping I can type this letter without too many errors. Still, it will be better for you Mr. Editor than having to have to type from my handwritten notes.

Okay, let us see if this typewriter works any better. We have to supply our own ribbons, correction tape, and type wheel. Yes, this one seems to be working better.

What words of wisdom to type first? I have so much to say and so little time. At least the typewriter forces me to slow down a little bit, and it certainly is neater then my high speed scribbling.

So here I am in Club Fed. They predicted scattered frost and sure enough, as I walked across the compound there were some patches of frost. Hey, every once in a while even the weather people can get it right.

I have been sort of stuck in my room lately so as to protect all my worldly possessions. Yes, I did buy a new lock for my locker, and I even paid for a custom-made piece of wood that fits on the lock to cut down on the ease with which one can jimmy the lock. But all that adds up to is a way to slow down those fellow inmates who feel it is more blessed to take than to receive.

Another temptation to stay in bed today was the nice, cool temperature. But once I dragged myself out of bed and was standing by the unit door waiting for them to call the move, I see that they are showing Kelly's Hero’s on TNT at 9:30 AM. That and the Dirty Dozen are two of my all-time favorite war movies. Oh, and let us not forget MASH.

So I have from now, 7:33 AM till 9:30 AM to type some stuff that hopefully will only need a little editing, and will make it on the blog sooner rather than later.

I am now just days to the door, but unfortunately it is just a door to another prison. The only thing I do know at this point is that it will not be a Federal prison. I will be going to either a NY county jail or a NY State prison. I am still awaiting word on my latest appeal, but if I do not hear anything on that before the end of November, I will be in transit for an unknown period of time. After I end up wherever it is I end up, I will hopefully reestablish contact with the real world.

So if you do not see any blog updates for a little bit, please don't give up hope, please keep checking back here, and eventually, with luck, I will return.
