Micah has been excited about reading a new book that the librarian has shared with him. Thank you whoever the kind librarian that even gives a care what my big hearted inmate reads! She found him a book of poetry and is bringing him some more books she thought he would be interested in.
The book he is into right now is "Twilight of the Idols" by Friedrich Nietzsche. In looking up the author I discovered he was 19th century German philosopher who wrote on religion, morality, culture, philosophy and science.
He was born Oct. 15th 1844 and died August 25th 1900. He was famous for his anti-God stance and his anti morality stance. Of course like lots of authors of that period he was not famous until he had died of senility.
I will include some of Micahs' favorite quotes from the book tomorrow when I am able to talk to him a little bit more.
Micah is now working out two and a half hours a day. He was supposed to do 2,000 push-ups today. I am anxious to see if he completed them or not. I am just glad he has been busy and trying to keep the mind from worrying about what is going to happen this week, or not happen.

ONE WEEK COUNTDOWN
There is one week left until Micah's update hearing. Maybe! Unless like the last four it gets forwarded again. In which case he will continue in limbo while the other two boys walk free with friends and family. One of Micahs' friends saw one of the boys out hiking with friends. Thought they were on house arrest ha?
After speaking with Micah last night his biggest frustration at the moment is the uncertainty of the whole thing. He really wants to know what and where he will be for the next few months or years. That has him really stressed out.
He has requested a Thai Chi book from his Dad and is working out about two hours a day right now. Did 1700 push-ups yesterday and still going strong.
I told him that his sister and I were training for a marathon. He commented that if they would just open those doors and let him out he would run for at least 26 miles without stopping for anything. It will sure be a happy day when he is a free man again.
Today is the day to call the coconino county jail and try and track down the sixty dollars worth of books I had sent from Amazon that never arrived. Not sure why they did not get there, but it is sure frustrating to work with that system they have going on over there.
