We all had such a great time visiting with him. A couple of the guards actually had hearts and let us stay a little longer. They were aware that we were visiting from out of the country and were great sports about it.
His little sister keeps bugging him about when they will have their big "date". He has promised her a date to California for ice=cream and a beach swim. So he has narrowed it down for her. He told her 900 days. In other words we will not hear the end of this date for 900 days, or until he gets out whichever comes first.
We are still working on his poetry book and it is moving slow. When you have to rely on snail mail to keep everything moving it is a slow process. He is doing lots of writing these days and getting very good at it. Better all the time.
Starting Sunday he will actually have visits again. We will not be hogging them.

Ixna on the Saving
He did request that since he will probably be there about a year longer anyone that was saving their pennies for his prison fund can go ahead and send it to him now. He is out of money, and worst of all out of coffee :( Not too fun to talk to for sure.
I am sure hoping that things will change between now and August, but it looks like that is the date for now. Let's get that kid out of there!

SNAP!
Maleah always says "snap" when she is frustrated. That is a good way to express how we are feeling with Micahs situation. It is so frustrating to keep getting strung along like this. The good news is there were about 10 people at the update hearing today. Yahoo! That looks very good and helps Micahs' case all the more, so thanks to all who attended.
Where we after the hearing today is this: by the next update hearing scheduled for March 25th if the prosecution has not given them the deal they asked for they are going to trial. That is what Micahs' lawyer made clear today at the hearing, and what Micah has asked for.
See as I understand it when you are waiting for a plea you have to waive your right to a speedy trial, because obviously you are trying to avert going to trial. Evidently if you waive that right it can be a heck of a long time before you get anything.
Micah had a pretty rough day. He had asked the duty person to wake him up at five thirty this morning so that he could shave for the first time in three weeks. They yelled at him, but they did it through the steel wall before it was open, so he did not hear them. So he looked like a beast for his hearing. Oh yeah and the straw that broke the camels back for Micah today? You now have to buy your own salt and pepper!
This picture is one Jaima was kind enough to send me from Micahs' freshman year. He and his friend decided it would be funner to play in the snow with no clothes on. The biggest problem was once he got down the hill he realized he had left his shoes at the top also, brrrr! So Micah.
Here is the quote that Micah gave me after his long day:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Micah called last night to wish his sister a happy birthday. It was great to talk to him and he mailed me a whole packet of things to post here as well to include in the book of poetry I am putting together with his poetry.
We chatted about the Super Bowl, of course. I told him not to call me back tonight unless the Cards won! He laughed. He was a little upset because after six months of the exact same menu, on the exact same nights they have changed his menu.
Now that may not sound like a big deal to those of us who have a choice about what and when and where we eat. But when it is all you measure the time by and the only thing you have to look forward to some days, it is very important.
I asked Micah one time what was the worst thing about jail. He told me, "you know Mom, I hate jail, and I hate spincah. And on the days when they serve spinach to us I just hang my head and cry in my spinach." I imagine there will be a poem for that one for sure!
He is doing good as can be expected. We are all praying for him as he faces the decision of taking his case to trial or not. It is a big decision with some serious reprucussions if he does not win. It is at a real crucial point and we have fasted for him today and continue to pray for him at this time.

THE LATEST FROM COCONINO COUNTY
This blog site has been set up for my son Micah Neumann who is in Coconino County jail. He has been there for seven months and I will be writing this blog on behalf of him. He calls me every other day and writes me every week, so that will be where I will get the posts for this site. I will also include his poetry as he sends it. He is in the process of writing a book of poetry that will be included for sale on this site.
If you have ever wondered what it is like in jail, here is your chance to find out. Feel free to ask questions and they will be forwarded to him so that he can answer them the best he is able. Please do not ask questions about his case as he cannot discuss it until it is settled, sometime in the near future hopefully. Thanks and enjoy Micahs humor, it is what is getting him by!
