They are, either, the very worst or the very best. I am one too!!!<BR/>I'm impressed by your willingness to GROW - to make the best of a horrendous situation. Believe me, not many men do that! <BR/>I'm a 58 year old (59 tomorrow) woman with a son two years your junior - if you were my son I'd be proud of you - no matter what you've done. <BR/>with very best wishes<BR/>SheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1131551213357724732005-11-09T07:46:00.000-08:002005-11-09T07:46:00.000-08:00Fascinating blog. Feel a bit likea voyeur reading...Fascinating blog. Feel a bit like<BR/>a voyeur reading your words (kind of like that guilty pleasure I felt when watching Oz), however, I am appeased by the fact, or maybe<BR/>my inference, that you are an academic of sorts. <BR/><BR/>I read your reading list---don't you have any on your wish list that are more enjoyable. I have a a B.A. in english literature, so I tend to find a little lite reading like Milton always makes me feel better :-). Actually, I abhor Milton, but in all honesty, and I am truly not saying this tongue in cheek, when reading portions of your blog I conjur of visions of various of Dickens' texts. Ahhh, perhaps I have answered my own question about your reading preferences as they tend to focus on the inequities between the affluent and the poverty stricken and/or throw aways in our society. <BR/><BR/>By the by, I unfortuanately live here in Arizona, and no all to well about the infamous sheriff of or Maricopa County. I moved here about four years ago and it has proven almost deadly at times. I recently went to France with my parents, and I will never forget flying back into this desert after being in Europe. This said, my heart goes out to you being a European native and then finding yourself not only in Arizona but in Arizona a prisoner. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what you did (I mean to say I read the judgments against you, but I don't know how "badly" you really harmed anyone in the scheme of things---thus, I tend to believe from the little I have read that probation may have been sufficient as it is obvious your are not a murdering thug). <BR/><BR/>In any case, your blog is interesting to read but simultaneously really sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1131529301702525852005-11-09T01:41:00.000-08:002005-11-09T01:41:00.000-08:00A nice write up Shaun.

It will help the time you spend in prison to be less daunting than if you gave in, which in the end would seem as if you were serving a lifetime. <BR/><BR/>Terry BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-1131490409431800102005-11-08T14:53:00.000-08:002005-11-08T14:53:00.000-08:00Are you really locked up for 20 to 22 hours a day?...Are you really locked up for 20 to 22 hours a day? I know from having read your blog for a while now after being pointed here from the BBC article, that you manage to keep yourself busy but I still don't know how you stay sane. I think I would feel utter dispair & desperation if kept in a cell for that amount of hours each day. Yep you broke the law and should serve an appropriate sentence but 9 years is harsh. I'll keep reading the blog as it's interesting and humourous at times too.
