Dearest Sweet Wife Jodie: I was going to write a historically accurate but bitter screed about the genocidal tendencies of our American and Canadian rulers, regarding the meaning of Columbus Day (Monday in the US) and Thanksgiving Day (Monday in Canada), and you've already got half of it in a letter I wrote you in that theme... but it's just not how I'm feeling anymore. I'm optimistic and in a much better mood now!

Dear Jodie: I was saddened to hear the tragic news that Michelle Rainey is possibly just weeks away from dying from her melanoma and lymphatic cancer, which has now reached critical proportions throughout her body. She's only 39. Melanoma is such a vicious cancer, and cancer has been terrible on her brother, killing him young, and affecting others in her family.

Dearest Jodie: After I saw you Sunday for our perfectly lovely visit (smashing dress you had on), I was informed I was moving from unit DB to another unit. I thought, uh-oh, what did I do, but it wasn't punishment at all, it was to unit FA, which is kind of a waiting unit for inmates who have been designated to their federal prison. So I've been designated!

Oh Sweet Wife O' Mine! The Marc Emery Support Day on Saturday was thrilling to know was going on, what little I knew about behind these bars. Some staff at the FDC here however, are have taken a hostile turn against me, I think, as a consequence of all this support and media surrounding my sentencing and my work.

Dearest Jodie: I so loved our two visits this weekend. And what a momentous weekend it was! We got the sentencing done, and it went as we expected, and my application to be transferred back into the Canadian corrections system was delivered to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle. It will be on the Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews’ desk late next week. The Marc Emery Support Day comes at just the right time this Saturday, September 18.

Dearest Jodie: What a sad and wrenching weekend, my dear. On Saturday morning you were so tired and sadly vacant for our visit (because of the terrible start with you being upset by the way a guard was treating me, and the unexpected photos when you were not dressed up or ready for them) that it had me reeling with sadness for the remainder of the day. That was the worst visit we've had.

Oh dear, my sweet Jodie, I feel wobbly today. I've a sore throat, a woozy head and a stuffy nose. I'm drinking hot liquids and lots of water, getting sleep, but these next few days will be trying. And I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous about sentencing coming up on the 10th. Most inmates do get jumpy because its the biggest uncertainty of any prisoner, the sentencing! Even though I have an agreement in principle on a 5-year sentence, I'm still nervous that the judge could make it a longer sentence. So the next 10 days will be a little unnerving.

Today I was told I would get less time on the computer to send and read emails because there was griping by some of the inmates about my use. Admittedly, it is about 3 hours a day, but I line up like everyone else and there are others that use it even more frequently and for longer times than I. It seems I have aroused some to complain. So my use will be in the early morning, in the afternoon around 4:30 pm, and at night, for less time in total.

Dearest Jodie: A miracle occurred today! For dinner I received the most extraordinary meal, this great salad plate with five fresh green pepper slices, three cauliflower pieces, four broccoli pieces, lettuce, four real tomato wedges, dressings, medium cheddar cheese (grated, the real thing), and three hard boiled eggs. It was spectacular! The first real vegetarian meal I've had.
