Subject: Begin Phase II

Hey Rob Fans,

I have just returned from driving Rob to the halfway house in Boston. Rob was released from the prison just around 8:30 this morning. He was in excellent spirits and was eager to get in the car and drive away from that place.

Rob's friend Butch and myself had prepared a meal for Rob to enjoy on the drive down to Boston. We had no time to spare, so Rob actually ate and changed clothes in the car while I drove! We were hoping to have had some time together in Boston before he had to check in (strict rules for 10:00 check in) -but with major traffic on the MA Pike, we barely made it to the location by 9:59. Because of our late arrival time, I had to double park (in front of a police car --eek! :P) just long enough for Rob to get his things together and look for the entrance to the building. I was not able to park and walk him in as I had hoped. I am not even really sure where the entrance to the place is. Rob said it appeared we were at the correct address, but we were in front of a bunch of stores. I am assuming the facility is above the stores.

Well, anyway, Rob is (hopefully) where he should be and I really have absolutely no other information at this time. I am hoping to hear from him later today, but am not sure when he will be able to use the phone. I will keep you informed once I hear from him.

Thanks,
Shannon
