Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.

You fellas have a lot of growing up to do, I'll tell you that. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Can you believe these characters? Way out of line. Way out of line. Have a good mind to go to the warden about this. You know what hurts the most is the... the lack of respect. You know? That's what hurts the most. Except for the... Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.
Fear can hold you prisoner , hope can set you free.

There’s a big hay field up near Buxton… one in particular. It’s got a
long rock wall with a big oak tree at the north end. It’s like something
out of a Robert Frost poem. It’s where I asked my wife to marry me. We
went there for a picnic and made love under the oak, and I asked and she
said yes. Promise me, Red. If you ever get out, find that spot. At the
base of that wall, you’ll find a rock that has no earthly business in a
Maine hay field. Piece of black, volcanic glass. There’s something buried
under it I want you to have.

I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer" and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.
P.S: Tell Heywood I'm sorry I put a knife to his throat. No hard feelings.
Brooks.

I guess there is harsh truth to face. No way I am going to make on the outside. All I do anymore is to think of ways to break my parole. So maybe they would send me back. Terrible thing to live in fear. Brooks Hatlen knew it, knew it all too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense. Where I won't have to be afraid all the time. Only one thing stops me. A promise I made to Andy. Much obliged sir. "Dear Red, if you are reading this you have gotten out. If you have come this far, maybe you are willing to come a little farther. You remember the name of the town, don't you? Zihuatanejo. I could use a good man to get my project on wheels. I'll keep an eye out for you. I will be hoping this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend, Andy." Get busy living, or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. For the second time in my life I am guilty of committing a crime. Parole violation. Course I doubt they will put up any roadblocks for that, not for an old crook like me. I find I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is an excitement only a free man can feel. An excitement at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
There’s something inside, that they can’t get to, that they can’t touch…it’s yours…

I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer" and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.
P.S: Tell Heywood I'm sorry I put a knife to his throat. No hard feelings.

I hope for Toronto 2025 as well.
I have never even been to Canada but I would love to see the Leafs win it all. I can only imagine what it would mean to so many.
For any Leafs fans traveling to Raleigh in May, here is hoping for a playoff matchup against the Hurricanes as a bonus.
