Really busy right now. End of the semester. Commencement is this week. Family coming in to town soon…. and oh yeah, I have a family, three dogs and am trying to build a house. Oh wait, I almost forgot True Crime and a Glass of Wine is next week at the Blue Door - need to work on that presentation. AND CrimeCon is coming fast and furious and my presentation is based on Bobby… we changed our original concept when Bobby’s execution was set.

Ok, a little more calm today but still not thrilled. Bethany did get a snail mail letter from Bobby but it was dated almost a week ago. He knew the warrant was signed but it had not been announced to the public yet. I was glad that she had heard from him.

I am annoyed and frustrated. I have not heard anything back from Bobby. I know this sounds strange and selfish. I am not the one on death row. I am not the one about to die yet here I am thinking about myself.

So I sent Bobby another email and with no response from him yet, I decided to not pepper him with a million questions. Trying the polite conversation tactic for now. I told him that I was sitting outside at a coffee shop writing him. It really is a beautiful day.

I just sat down to write Bobby an email. It was difficult to decide what to say. I want answers just like everyone else. What is he thinking and feeling? Is he afraid? Will he be willing to drop the psychological chess game and just get real?

So somehow 24 hours has slipped aeay since I receivd notice that Bobby Joe is to be executed on May 23, 2019. I have less than a month to ask questions and decide  if I want to take Bobby Joe up on his offer of buying me a chipotle bacon cheeseburger.
