I was wrong about the Olympics being over. They continued today with an strange episode acted out by the U.S. 4 by 100 relay team. The media pointed out they acted like asses in front of none other than Henry Kissinger. My mother is coming to visit me tomorrow. I am excited about that. Since I’ve landed so far upstate I have not been able to see her too often.

I’m looking forward to that and some different food. They have vending machines there and sell all the junk anyone could want. Even better, inmates are not allowed to handle the money so your visitors must fetch it and bring it for you. I’ve been playing a lot of cards lately, in particular, pinochle. It passes a whole lot of time and is good at sharpening up the mind. The radio is on as I write and it’s playing Nickel Back “Leader of Men”. Not one of my favorites, but someone has just informed me this song is about eating shrooms.

I haven’t listened to it very close, but it’s never made me think that before. However, I have never been very good on picking up song lyrics. I’m the guy that gets them all wrong. Speaking of shrooms though, I would do some acid if I got my hands on some. Definitely my favorite drug. I have thought many times it would be easy to slip some in on a letter here. I’ve even propositioned my friends to do it, but no luck. What a neurotic rant. What can I say? I have a lot of time to think.images (1)
