Wednesday, September 3, 2014 When finishing with federal prison, we have to deal with terms of supervised release. A federal probation officer oversees us. As my release-from-prison journal shows, I’ve been writing about my experience since I left prison. My probation officer in San Francisco gave me a little more clarity on my evolving status. […]

Tuesday, September 2, 2014 A federal probation officer from Orange County called me today. The call came unexpectedly. Although I was in a meeting when the call came in, I stepped away to take the call because I thought the caller might have been a candidate for a job. Instead, the probation officer told me […]

Monday, September 1, 2014 Today is Labor Day, and I’m laboring with heavy, complicated thoughts in this release-from-prison journal entry. They concern my liberty, or lack thereof. A few weeks ago, a federal judge signed an order to terminate my period of “supervised release.” I published those orders on my website, and I wrote about […]

Sunday, August 31, 2014   For the second day in a row I was able to run longer than a half marathon. Then I returned home to work on some writing projects. Since it’s Labor Day weekend, I’m working from home. Our offices at BuyBelize.com are closed. Carole is working at her hospital, so I’m using […]

Saturday, August 30, 2014   I ran more than 14 miles in the early morning. The goals that I’m determined to achieve require that I work seven days each week, as I’ve been recording in my prison journal. As a consequence of the responsibilities associated with the career I’m striving to build, I rarely get […]

Friday, August 29, 2014   Today I took a lesson in using MailChimp. MailChimp may be helpful to my prison journal, and also to other ventures that I’m beginning, like PrisonProfessor.com. It’s a wonderful tool that will allow me to create newsletters that I can send to people who sign up to receive them. The […]

Thursday, August 28, 2014   I embarked upon a new project today, and I’m happy to use this prison journal to memorialize the effort. I’m writing a detailed plan to guide our organization’s communications, both internally and externally. Internal communications will help us define everyone’s role. We want to establish a clear path to excellence. […]

Wednesday, August 27, 2014   If I were not documenting my story through this prison journal, I’d write more about the company where I’m working. BuyBelize is a fascinating company that advertises on national television. Those ads attract people who may want to purchase land in Belize. There are number of reasons why people may […]

Tuesday, August 26, 2014   The act of planning eats up a lot of my time. Ever since authorities released me from federal prison, I’ve used prison journals to document the journey. My intentions in keeping prison journals were to show others that there is life after federal prison. Yet success doesn’t materialize by accident. […]

Monday, August 25, 2014   The company I’m working with has a database of more than 125,000 people. Those people have visited our website. By leaving their name, email address, and telephone number, they’ve indicated an interest in purchasing property in Belize. Our team of sales representatives contacts them regularly. But I’m convinced that we […]
