Checking in from Iowa!

Hello All!

Thanks again to those of you who have sent packages out (A couple of which came without return addresses). I am caught up now with sending personal PMs back to you for your gifts and I must say that your generosity has been overwealming. The letters have been very touching and serve as part of my daily motivation. My life story is well under way and I will be burning it some-time late next week. I will get more details out as to date and time for those of you who want to join in for a celebratory cigar. Smoke what you want. A couple of great BOTL from here sent me several pre-release RP Phoenix's, made specifically for a certain B&M. It is a beautiful cigar. Most of us will be smoking these on this night as the Phoenix is very symbolic of new life rising from the ashes.

Here are a few pics to show you how your love has been spread around-

Me and my Buddy Joel. I did not convert him to cigars, so he was already officially a BOTL-



Newly converted BOTL/SOTL puffing away after the burning of a life story. This about half of the folks that are now smoking cigars here-



Me and my counselor. I am still trying to covince her to join us-



Beside my bed. Aside from a letter from my wife and one from my father-in-law,- these all have come from folks from the cigar boards. I have since added three more. Thanks! You can also see the bands of the cigars I have smoked since arriving (some of these from you guys)-



The Catholic Workers Center in Des Moines. I served food here again yesterday, but this time I brought 8 pairs of shoes that I bought at a local store and over 150 cigars. You should have seen the looks on the faces of the brothers and sisters there when I passed out cigars. Wow. Many thanks again to you folks-



Newly converted SOTL at the Homeless Shelter mentioned above-



Me and my man Joel again outside of the ROI tobacco shop in Omaha-
