Joes doing alright!



Well Joe was doing real good last Fridays visit.

They were extra busy in the visiting room so most people had to sit in the singles seats. The Sergeant I have been talking with allowed Joe some leeway to sit wherever he choose as the sergeant knows Joe's condition now and gives him some more slack. I was talking (reminding) the Sergeant about Joe's clothing situation when Joe finally walked in. Took me three weeks of reminders but this week the sergeant finally took care of getting some new clothes for Joe. So next week Joe should look more presentable.

After the Sergeant told Joe he could sit wherever he pleased, Joe actually pick out a seat next to a fellow inmate and his visiting wife. The inmate is a spanish translator who is teaching Joe some spanish. That was a pleasant surprise since Joe normally would have preferred to be somewhat secluded from the rest for his own (spitting) privacy. It showed me that Joe was attempting to be a little more friendly than he has been in the past. We actually had a game, although He barely squeaked by a win in Cribbage on me, and then a lively conversation with this very intelligent inmate friend of Joe's.

Joe's still spitting unfortunately and it still bothers him although he still will not go see the docs about it. His choice!
It is late, I am tired, goodnight and Happy New year to you all.

Soon to be snoring, ... Dave
