We just had dinner. Roast turkey and everything else boy am I putting on weight. I weigh about 170 now, getting fat Its better to gain than lose it.
Im still drawing, send out for a couple of books in art and sketching I may find a little help in them, I cant wait to get back out in my freedom to be able to start painting walls. Ill have to start all over again.
Say hello to Miss Thompson for me, and thank her for her thoughts.
I was reading a western pocket book, I send out for 4 of them there good reading and a past time, fast reading, I read about anything.
Well here it is Jan 22, and 8 more days it will be Feb, boy are these days flying, starting next month all of Feb, all of March and all of April, then 2 weeks in May when I see the parole board I cant wait, this waiting is killing me. I know Ill make it, for theres no reason not to, my record is more better than it ever was I am more polite to people. I take orders now when I never used to I have more self control, and I think now before I act. I never done that before; all my police record outside isn't a bad one a couple of Band E's Im no holdup man. I never had a gun. I never in my life had sex on my record. I dont fool with children Im not a drug addict so I cant see where they'd turn me down, unless its because of being in the plant of my own accord to stay out of trouble and I cant see them turning me down because of that so I guess I have a better chance than most to make it, time will tell. God Bless you and keep you well always
Your friend with lots of love
