Wrong Zip Code. I am waiting for the doors to open.

They are supposed to open at 6:00 PM but last night they did not open till 6:40 PM. The six o'clock hour is for news, and then I sometimes sit through the King of Queens until 7:30 PM or else head back to the room. So, those "wonderful" Rec times are bummers.

I do not want you to misunderstand me; I am hopefully not putting pressure on you. I am trying to explain my thoughts. Feel free to challenge them, but know that whatever you do, I appreciate it. Your concern has certainly gotten me through this time and I truly value the road we have traveled. Thanks for being my friend.

Well, I guess I will go watch the news and add a few notes. It seems strange that no mail got forwarded from Club Fed.

Oh shit. Now that I got my address list back, I see your zip code is not what I wrote on my first two letters! What the hell was I thinking? Now I wonder if you got my letters. I had put 11706 on them. Dum dum. Well, this one should be OK and maybe you are reading this on Saturday?

It is now after the news, 7:30 PM. We got out at 6:15 PM tonight; I watched Channel 7 local news, then Peter Jennings, and then most of King of Queens. Boy is that a stupid show.

I just opened the peanut butter. I had four imitation-Ritz crackers with peanut butter. What a difference in taste between the crap at Riverhead and Skippy!

So today’s treat count was a handful of pretzels, half of a Hershey bar, one Slim Jim, M&M peanuts, and the peanut butter with crackers. God bless the Commissary.

I hope the fruit holds for two weeks as I asked for grapefruits and oranges. I do miss my Diet Coke, but hey, I probably will go for the hot pot and make some herbal teas.

I am not sure what to do, but I know I need some more interactive stuff. I have to get back to my crosswords and logic puzzles. Otherwise all I have is writing these sappy letters to you.

Hopefully they let in the paperbacks you send. I think I am allowed ten, but if you have not sent any yet, let us try five first. I might be able to get better information after visiting with Mom and Dad on Monday and Tuesday. Maybe they could buy some crossword books Monday after their visit and bring them back in on Tuesday.

Damn, sorry, I lost control of my pen. I have not written the letter to Summer. Hmmm, maybe I should start that tonight.
