I had a nice time with my mom today. We talked about all kinds of things. We played Yahtzee for a while, which brought back some childhood memories, but otherwise we just reminisced and mulled on the future.

She has been really great to me through all of this. We even talked about my father and his family, something she doesn’t like to really do. I learned a lot of things I never knew before. Maybe some day I will be comfortable enough to share them. One thing that really sucks about visiting is the strip searching. They even strip you before you go in.

The only reason I can think this happens is they are worried someone might try to sneak in a weapon to hurt one of the visitors? Otherwise it’s just purely a humiliation tactic. Why would you be sneaking anything into the room?images (57)

As I write this I am watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics. I heard some bad news today. A guy I know is on his way to prison. The problem is he informed on one of my friends. If anyone finds this out it could put the spotlight on me. People will wonder why I didn’t warn them. Some might even say it’s my responsibility to do something about it. And if my friend finds out I’m at the same place with him…My hope is the guy will go to PC. And that is probably what will end up happening.
