Journal of today’s activities:

Today was a cleanup day for all of the business that I conducted during my trip to Los Angeles. I don’t know precisely how many one-year licenses Justin and I sold for the Straight-A Guide Life Skills Program because some purchasers would order licenses for multiple facilities. I expect that we will receive a minimum of three new purchase orders for our curriculum, but we could receive 25 or more purchase orders. In any event, I’m very enthusiastic about our prospects for to reach more than 100,000 people this year.

While visiting with my grandmother and mother, my mom handed me a photograph from my early days in the penitentiary. I posed for the photo while I was confined at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta, probably when I was in my second or third year of confinement. I had already begun living the values-based, disciplined adjustment that would carry me through the 26 years that I served.
