[Kat Kanning]

I got thoroughly sick of being weak all the time while trying to get stuff done, so I stopped fasting tonight.  That was 12 days even.  I already feel better after 1 apple, but still get tired easily.

[Pat K]

No use making yourself sick.

Hope ya feel better.

[John]

Think
Aretha Franklin

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think... let your mind go let yourself be free

Let's go back - let's go back
Let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a been too much more than ten (just a child)

I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doin' to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah think (think - think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom)
Let's have some freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Yeah freedom (yeah)

You got to have freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom (freedom)
You need you some freedom
Oh freedom
Ya got ta have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it


There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change ya I'm not if
You keep doin' things I don't (don't)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
(What you're tryin' ta do to me
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

People walkin' around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds
Well be careful you don't lose yours

Oh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do

Oooh yeah think about it baby
(What cha tryin' to do me think)
Let it go baby

Think about it right now
Yeah right now (think about ..forgiveness)
Whoa right now (to the bone ..forgiveness)
Yeah right now (tell about ..forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby baby baby woo (to the bone ..forgiveness)
Think about it baby (tell about forgiveness)
Yeah woo-hoo (tell about forgiveness)
Tell about it baby baby baby (think about it..)

[John]

I'm glad you've eaten Kat.  We need you!
I'm glad you don't let them get the better of you.
THEY must/will learn to think!  Maybe they have - a bit.

The times they are a changing!

[Lloyd Danforth]

There goes John......ripping off someones lyrics!  Are we going to have a safety officer at the build on Sunday?

[Kat Kanning]

Lauren?

Hooray!  Kat is not going to starve anymore! Yay!

We can make Kat the safety monitor if John can't make it.

[John]

The times they are a changing!

Sorry.  That would be some guy named Bob Dylan.
(I'm thinking I might want to learn that song.)

[Kat Kanning]

Usually they have a separate sentencing hearing after the trial.  I wonder if they're going to hold Russell until that, or just do it all the same day?

[Kat Kanning]

Russell says he wishes he'd just pled guilty at the arraignment and wonders if he can change his plea now.  Does anyone have an idea how/if he can do this?

I imagine he could, but I also imagine the bureaucrats would make him wait until May 14th to do it.

[MaineShark]

Russell says he wishes he'd just pled guilty at the arraignment and wonders if he can change his plea now.  Does anyone have an idea how/if he can do this?

Yes, he can change his plea.  He can change it to "guilty" or often to "nolo contendere."  Nolo contendere means "no contest," and basically says "I don't admit guilt, but I know that you can convict me, so I'm not going to bother defending myself."

Yes pleading "no contest" is basically the same as pleading guilty, so they always advise that one should never plead guilty.

Made another postcard to send. Help lighten the mood and share with the others in the jail.

Russell and I laughed about Phil Hartman's character from Saturday Night Live.
