When we left Florida to move to Portland, on our drive out, Kelli and I stopped to see a friend of hers from High School who is in a prison camp at Leavenworth, KS and chatted with him for an hour of so. He calls about once a month to talk and we've exchanged letters with him and such.
Well, Kelli got a call from him tonight and it turns out that his new prison mate is none other than Michael Vick! No joke. There are not many guys in this minimum security camp (the picture in this article, by the way is the picture of the maximum security prison, not the minimum security camp which doesn't even have real fences or gates, you could just walk on out if you wanted to, but no one would since the guys in there have short sentences and don't want to get in more trouble) so it must have been exciting.
Kelli asked if it was crazy having him there and he said that it was kind of exciting for the first few days but now he's just like anyone else. He works in the kitchen and watches football with the guys. Our friend has gotten a chance to talk to him a few times because as he said, "we're both into football." That may be an understatement. He also said that since Vick entered the same drug program that is getting him out early, Vick will be out by November. Not bad considering it's a 23 month sentence!
Wow. I need to send him something to get signed for me! I can't believe that.
Does anyone have any messages they want me to relay to Michael via our friend?

you should send a shiv for him to sign. i'd pay good money for that collector's item!
ask him if he's allowed in the kitchen on 'hotdog night.'
