I will be on the move today going to Wallowa Lake and a visit with Ellen and the whole family will be there. It should be fun - it is generally a blast when they all get together with plenty of stories to relate. Art has already warned me that Ellie is bringing her pup so there may be a dog fight or so. I will try to keep in touch with Michael. I keep thinking about that situation. I will take my computer stuff but it is hard to say whether there is service at the Wilderness Motel. I have to get some clothes washed and pick up the melons and corn.

I have added some stuff to the phone bill - good or bad - I'm not sure. We will see. I have some blogs to work on if things get boring.

I gathered up the vegetables and melons and headed out about nine thirty. Things went well. I ate at Wallowa and checked in the motel and then went to Ellen's no one there so I unloaded the produce and after a nap I went to the Lake at the Lodge I finally ran into Paul and Tevin who has really grown into a tow head. I messed around with Gary and his brother until we finally ate. I was having a hell of a gut ache and finally got rid of enough to eat some food that was not that good. I finally came back to the motel and checked into the Internet. Listened to the ball game a while untl it quit.

I had tried to call Michael around nine and he shut the phone off. I tried again at Immirant Springs with no luck. He called me on gthe east side of Cabbage but we were breaking up so bad that I gave up. I called him in La Grande and all was going great for him and he said that his PO would grant him a waiver to move to Portland especially since he had a place to stay and a job offer. This is good news and it sounded like he would let me move him next weekend. Before I could check into the Motel Joel called and he was obviously needing to talk to someone. He cracked me up with a comment that since he had the soft porn channel he had request more private time from his cellmate who he thought he was over working the situation. Then I called Michael and told him the reception in Enterprise was good so he could give me a call and I would get it.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was hearing that the PO would grant Michael a waiver. Both Joel and Michael thought that my curfew should be around ten. And so it was!
