  I want my NPR!
Hello again, it is now 3:30 PM. Lunch came, I started watching The District and then JAG, but I went out to walk, another hour power-walking, came back and discovered that pits without deodorant stink. I was able to wash them with my washcloth that came with today's commissary.

Also, I finally received a three-pack of new Hanes underwear, so when I get my three hours of freedom tonight from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM I can shower and put on clean underwear. The little things!

I also bought a two-pack of oatmeal cookies to keep for the next time I need a pick-me-up. I figure since it will be a long time with no food, the oatmeal is good stomach filler. Forewarned is forearmed.

I brought two 50ยข washcloths, so one will be used to wash down my cell tonight. I think I will do it before my shower. I will use the shampoo again. That helps perfume the air. This place smells a lot like the old tiger house at the Bronx Zoo! Bathing is not a high priority for most people here.

Slow down. After my walk and pit wash, I read the Friday NY Newsday. Hey, I even finished a Friday crossword. Not as hard as a Saturday, but still one of the toughest of the week. So I guess the walk did my gray matter good. I am now waiting for dinner.

It is Friday, so both meals are fish, an old Catholic tradition that was changed in Vatican II, but anyhow, I will have my mackerel tonight instead of the questionable "fish patty." Lunch was tuna fish. I ate my M&M pack for the day already.

I traded my once-a-week baked chicken for an envelope so I could mail this letter out to you. I will get a backup envelope in case they take me out Monday or Tuesday so I can confirm when I depart the premises.

I should get a letter from Mom and Dad today. They mailed it Monday, so I better get it today.

I have no idea when I am leaving here, so if you can, please send five more books. They took a busload of inmates out of here this past Thursday, so I do not know if I am on hold now or what, but if I am here another week, the books will be welcomed. I have read five or six books just this last week!

That is all for now. I am going to mail this letter. BTW I did get the letter from Mom and Dad. The TV is showing "Cops" and then "Fear Factor" reruns, then they will change to MTV! Waaaah! I want my headphones and NPR!

On that note, let us break again for a bit while I do some reading.
