My kingdom for a radio. So, next on the agenda, since I missed the clock for the morning Rec, will be the 11:45 AM count and then lunch. Then I will definitely be going outside at 1:00 PM with my nice new "woolen" cap.

Oh, I did get a bottle of 100 vitamins. Not quite as many "vitas" as in my last bottle; less than half it looks like from the label on the bottle.

Wow. 11:30 AM already. Since commissary was so late, Rec was short. So now it is time for count and lunch. Lunch was three meatballs and pasta.

I can hear, but not clearly, the TV. Boy I sure continue to miss NPR. But if my NY Times arrives as it is supposed to tomorrow, I will at least have something to read. My kingdom for a radio.

Well I will soon go outside for first time in many days. The Rec yard is on the opposite side of the building, so while my cell is more on the sunny side, the yard is more shaded.

I think they said something about there is too much ice to play handball. This will be good for me for walking. Plus tomorrow morning is shower day, but I may have to sponge off later tonight. Three days without a shower and my skin gets all clammy.  ¶ 3:15 PM
