Now Comes the Letter Writing. At this point I have now typed out three drafts for posts. That is not including this one which I will end up updating throughout the day and will appear first on the blog.

It is almost time for my black bean lunch, and then I will start the letter writing. At 2:30, I will take a well deserved break and go get my biweekly commissary order. That ice cream is going to taste extra good since I have gone without my usual once (or twice) a day ration of chocolate over the last two weeks. I am not doing that again this time. I will be picking up a few Hershey's bars and 15 two ounce bags of M&M's (plain).

That is all for now. Lunch first then more letter writing.

Do any of the free metric services provide the ability to see the location that the various blog readers are from? Do you need the users to use valid email addresses to even be able to gather that stat or can the software figure it out just by tracing the connection. If that is the case how would you know the location if someone was using one of the wireless networks? Just wondering.

It is now going on 8:00 and I am fading fast. I have proofed and printed three of the four posts, and this letter is being typed live. So I will proof and print out the last post, which you should actually post first, and then take my shower. I will hand proof this letter and handwrite out a list of the articles I am going to be sending out parcel post tomorrow morning to Mom and Dad. Some of the articles have been kicking around since November of last year.

Will let you know how my medical tests come out. I may end up going out to one of them tomorrow. Wednesday is usually the day they run the outside medical trips.

Tomorrow could be a double whammy. Blood and urine samples taken at 6:30 AM and then spend from 8:30 AM or so until I return cuffed and shackled. Sounds like real fun.

I assume they will do the CAT scan first and that will only be a same day trip. Stay tuned for all the gory and hair raising details.  ¶ 5:37 AM
