3 Weeks To Go…..

3 Weeks…..21 days…..500 hours…… Wow!
The good news is that time is only standing still and it has not started going backwards. Even better is the fact that after talking with several people who have, and are, experienced the “time has stopped” phenomena no one has yet to experience the “time is going backwards” phenomena…this is very good news at this point!
I had a pretty good week last week in terms of feeling productive. I was able to talk to a group of about 140 inmates about finding a job on Wednesday, about being good fathers on Thursday and then on Friday I shared my life story with them in addition to the warden and his staff as well as several federal judges, prosecutors and US attorneys that were touring the prison. I had great response from inmates, BOP personnel and the judge and some of her staff as well. It was a pretty satisfying week. I got so many Atta Boys from inmates and staff on Thursday that the guys were joking around that it was officially “Joe Lavin” day and so I of course made the most of it  Best of all Wendy and Maddy came to visit on Saturday during which I experienced the “wow, time is really flying” phenomena which was immediately replaced by the “time has stopped” phenomena as soon as I left the visiting room
Anticipation…..
