Oh! The Places You'll Go!

I went down to the prison in Mansfield, the old one, the one that was used in the filming of the movie Shawshank Redemption, to see a client once. The prison, which has since been replaced, was not adequately or accurately depicted in the movie ... unless you have Smell-a-Vision and a wide-angle lens that lets you take in the whole scene. I had to strip to get in ... no cavity search, but I did get down to my underwear.

Last night, I didn't have to strip, just empty all my pockets and have my social security number run for outstanding warrants and such, to get into a small room with a window made of a double layer of scratched and clouded plexiglass, behind which was my son in an orange, Tivek shirt and pants, for a half-hour visit with him.

Aaaaahhhh ... another new life experience, difficult to describe. So many curious adventures have happened on this path.
