A dear friend. Since last Thursday, I have filled the hours with reading, sleeping, an hour walking outside four or five times, and two trips to the law library. So I have not done anything for anyone but me! And yes, I can do it but it is not only boring but sort of promotes an empty, hollow feeling.

I have even gotten used to your not answering a lot of my requests for info. I have said, "Hey, I will throw out some stuff and allow you to pick and choose what you feel like doing, time and 'mental energy' taken into consideration."

So do not sweat the blog. I did feel I took some specific heat from the Club Fed staff for my blog and as such, figured that was the "price of fame."

You are a very dear friend and I do not want to regress back to the old days where we would touch base a few times and then both drop off each other's radar for years. That sucks! We have taken too much of each other to stop now.

I am always here for you. I understand you have a life with responsibilities and pressures. I have always said I do not even mind that the volume of my words versus your typed letters is lopsided. I understand that. I only ask as always, even at your busiest, you at least drop me a line to say "Hi--I am busy--keep the faith!"

The lack of any direct, instant communication with the outside world is the one aspect of life behind bars that I still have not conquered. So I will not make any more collect calls, and just know if one of your letters comes back with a "Return to Sender" on it, I will be sending you my new address ASAP!
