CHRISTMAS MIRACLE Alfonzo wrote his 1st letter to his 19 yr old daughter, after we worked together for a year on reading & writing. He's never seen her before. She was moved by his letter & he just heard she's visiting him on Christmas day. He's beside himself with anxious nerves

Another 10/6 lifer is home. After 54 years in prison, Claude received his freedom. When he arrived at Angola in 1969, the road leading to the front gate was unpaved. Earlier today he left the prison going the opposite direction on a road he wondered if he’d ever travel again.

I HATE THIS PLACE REALLY I HATE IT the smells The tastes The scenery It all sucks But this is my home, Like it or not So I must look inward And not outward. And ask myself, "What have I done to make it beautiful?"

Whenever I'm fortunate enough to publish, I donate a modest # of books to people in prison. I recently got caught up on contributions (through Urbana-Champaign Books to Prisoners, this time). Wherever you are, here's a re-run on how & why you should consider similar donations.

Every Monday, I like to share a bit of nostalgia to help everyone's day get off to a good start. This week, it is The Log Driver's Waltz, one of the most famous pieces of animation in Canadian history courtesy of the NFB, Wade Hemsworth and Kate and Anna McGarrigle!
