surrounded by the sounds of incarcerated men seeking education and personal betterment – each day at seven I arrive place my idiosyncrasies on my desk and begin aiding students in the quest for either a GED or a college degree as Oregon is one of a very few states actually trying to rehabilitate these men – for my part, there is a fair amount of free time between testing and the copious amount of research needed to get 43 students in two separate facilities all the scholarly resources they need to collect that ever elusive “A” – it is this space in my day that is a gift from the universe as I have the freedom to write and write and write –
had someone ask me if I worked... I could only guess that this was a response to my ability to post anytime day or night..... this is a response to that question.
