Hi again!

Rob just called. He thanks you all for you birthday wishes and cards and letters. :)

A few of you sent him stamps. They were mailed back to you. He can't get anything there!! He has phone privileges now. Once we (family) get in all we have to say in the allotted time, he may call some of you.

Any visitors should also know--you cannot wear the color green and you cannot chew gum. You can bring a deck of cards, but they cannot be in a box. A clear plastic bag is okay though.

Rob says he has been playing softball and doing laps around the track. He says he sometimes reads while walking the track and the other inmates think he is nuts!

He got his first delivery of things from the commissary, so he now has shoes and other things we all take for granted. He has written a few letters, and complained about his hand hurting as a result. I am surprised he has written any letters! If you get one, you may want to hold onto it! He is probably not going to write with a pen again after he is out of there!

That is all for now....

ps
I wrote earlier about monetary gifts--I left out an important detail. Checks and money orders would need to be made out to Rob Rothberg, Reg# 22987-038.

Thanks,
Shannon
