You made me laugh out loud with your posts. I won't call you names, but I will tell you that you are a terrible speller lol. It seems that you have a good attitude in there even with the bad. Keep at your art - and spelling (maybe I need to send you a dictionary if they will let me). I am a graphic designer myself and a traditional artist and I think you have some talent there along with the humor, you can take that wherever you want to go. I don't know when you are getting out but here is my opinion on kids (I have one) - even if they don't write you just keep writing them. One day, maybe not today - it will matter that you took the time to think of them every day. My daughter's father has not seen her since she was very young. His fault. All kids need both parents to care even if you don't see them. Keep the positive attitude and keep up the art work.

David,

I traveled around Scandinavia. It was absolutely wonderful. I felt so at peace, so unstuck from the ticking of time.

(A sidenote on time: I saw the short film The Eagleman Stag the other day and it opens with the line, "When I was four years old, I was so upset that I wouldn't have my next birthday party for another quarter of my life." Made me think a lot about how time stretches.)

I don't think I've dealt with any sexism, just gender differences. For example, men can tend to speak more of their opinions in larger groups and women in smaller groups. Gross generalizations, but they're useful to keep in mind to not take some things personally. Standing up for myself has more to do with my own psychology and insecurities. Have you dealt with that before?

I'm flattered! It's from a poem I wrote long ago.. but I loooove Alice in Wonderland!

Best,
thewindow

My what a blog this time I am so proud of you Joe. You amaze me everytime I read what you write. Your resolution is a very attainable goal for all of us. I have that same goal and you know just by spending more time in the word I am feeling more and more of His Peace. I do not think I can fast at this tiem but I can give up something and that is what I am doing. Joe what an inspiration you are to me you have made me want to spend more time in God's Word. I pray for God's strength and peace for you every day. I love you so much and keep praying for a miracle. On a lighter note what a beautiful picture I do not know which is better looking. you both look so much alike. What a blessing Joseph is to this family God sent him just when we needed him most. I want to thank MIT for this opportunity to read these blogs. It makes me feel so much closer to my son.

I love you Joe and looking forward to seeing you next week.
God Bless You

"But I'm just a man - please bear with me, and over look my many many faults and get to know me and understand me the best you can."

Ronald, thank you for this posting, and this, I can do for you if you will for me. I deeply appreciate the honest place from which you write. You wrote that you have been on death row for 22 years; are you able to describe how your perception of time has changed during that period, if at all?
