Sunday, November 2, 2014 Earlier this evening I treated my mother and grandmother to dinner. One of my favorite meals is the Bonzai burger at Red Robin, and I really enjoyed my meal tonight. My mom and grandma are really great. Despite the decades that I served inside, they’re totally supportive of this obsession I […]

Thursday, October 30, 2014 My trip to San Francisco yesterday was a success. As soon as I landed, I rushed to a taxi and directed the driver to take me the financial district. The ride cost me $60, but it saved me a considerable amount of time that I would’ve lost had I rented a […]

Every day she researches articles online or reads from textbooks. Then she synthesizes all that she learned into a compelling narrative, a […]

Monday, October 27, 2014 For several weeks I’ve been waiting for an announcement from Twitter on the company’s performance over the past quarter. I purchased stock in Twitter a couple of weeks ago, just prior to the stock market’s big decline. My entry point on the stock was $51.90, and I purchased a sizeable stake […]

Saturday, October 25, 2014 This morning I responded to one of two questions a journalist in Germany asked. She wanted me to elaborate on the biggest struggles I faced during my time in prison. Based on her question, I assumed that she didn’t know too much about me, so I responded as follows: I was […]

Friday, October 24, 2014 My work on Prison Professor continues. I think that I’ve written about the project before on these daily logs. Prison Professor will become a new business venture, a commercial entity that provides products and services to criminal defense attorneys. We also will offer services to individuals who anticipate that they may […]
