I got a great gift on Friday the box showed up and I looked at it and I thought it

doesn't look all that suspicious I don't get many boxes to come to my house I

recognize the name on the return address because Manuel is our friend in

southern California who asked me nicely for a signed copy of Father of Mine. He caught me on a day

where it's like, you know what, I'll just sign one and I'll drop it in the mail to him and he responded

with a prison mic care package that has the purple bandana the prison mic action figure and a very nice on glossy paper typewritten letter

including a little a little altered photo at the top with me as prison mic and you saying

I am a diamond in the haystack and Florio is a needle in the rough.

So thank you, Manuel.

That was great.

Prison Mike has made his way down to the barn where he will have not permanent residents, but he'll stay there until I find

something better to put in that spot and rotate him out somewhere else but he'll

stay there at least a year. Prison Mike will stay in that spot for at least a

year down in the barn. Well, where's the bandana?

You didn't want to wear it today for Manuel?

I mean, you might want to see it.

It's purple.

He got you Vikings colors.

I mean, what a well thought out gift?

First of all, I forgot to bring it upstairs. So it is here in the house it would just take me about five minutes to go get it

But I am going to bring it up here and I'm going to leave and I'm going to have it ready to go

Because on the days where I do slip into prison Mike it's going to be time to pull out the prison Mike
