Season's greetings

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

Very cold outside today!! I hated walking in
that cold for a baloney sandwich, but I did it
anyway, I survived! Then when I got back
and looked inside the bag, the bread was hard.
That's when I decided to eat a bowl of instant
oatmeal. Sure glad I bought that oatmeal. A
great big jar for $1.92. I'll take that oatmeal over
baloney anyday. When i do get out, I will NEVER
take "good food" for granted ever again. This will
also help me to appreciate my freedom even more
once I get out. All I have to do is think about
that nasty,processed, unhealthy, baloney and hard
bread. I've seen people lose their teeth trying to
eat that bread. I can go on and on about the
food in here. I'm just thankful that I will be
out in a few years.
It's almost christmas again. In 2001, when I was
at another prison in Nevada, I woke up and found
a bag of candy in my cell. I guess the night before,
the officers gave everyone in the prison a brown paper
bag of mixed candies. Although the candy was good,
it still didn't seem like christmas. It never does in
here. I usually watch it come and go.
I had planned on going to the gym today, but
it was canceled. So I had to use the pull-up
bar and do pull-ups. I don't mind the pull-ups
at all. It's even gotten to the point where I can do
15-20 pull-ups in one set. Too cold to go outside
to use the dip bar. Actually, I prefer using the
dip bar over the pull-up bar and bench press. Seems
like I get more of a muscle workout with the
dip bar. Can anyone send me any information about
the muscle supplement (creatine). Is it good or
bad for you? I used to take it, but I stopped.
I know you have to drink plenty of water when
when you're taking it. I was watching the DR.OZ show
when he said a 40 year old man should be able
to do 10-15 push-ups. I am almost 43 years
old and I can do 50 push-ups. Can't tell you how
good that makes me feel.
I am also looking for a good penpal out of
Philly. Of course, I will penpal with just about
anyone, but would really like to penpal with
someone from Philly- where I was born and
lived for over 20 years. So if you're reading this,
and you're from Philly, write me with your
handle so we can penpal.
I am also looking forward to the next Alternative
to violence workshop. I have big respect for
those outside volunteers that take the time out
of their time to come inside the prison to share
the Alternative violence workshop with us. Thank
you Reading Rita, Merry Mary,Reliable Rick,
Nifty Nancy and Terrific Terri. Wish you guys
all the best this holiday season.
Not much on television tonight. I like watching
frontline on the PBS channel. Other than that,
not much on. I'll probably go to sleep early
tonight and wake up early tomorrow and exercise.
I'm guessing it will be cold tomorrow also. Guess
That will mean more oatmeal for me.
Does anyone out there have the same birthday as
I do (February 18th)?
I can be emailed at :www.jpay.com- they will
print out your email and send it to me. If you're
looking for a response please remember to leave your
address in the email, if you'd like me to write back
to you. I can't email you back, but I can send
you a letter.
Merry Christmas
and
Happy New years Sincerely,

Philly Mike
