Just a quick update... Brent's appeals attorney has been working on the brief he's filing. He's fairly confident that the Fort Worth court of appeals will allow him to give oral arguments. I hear that this would be a very positive thing, and not something that is always granted. If I'm allowed to post the brief once it's filed, I will do so here. It will still be a lot of waiting, though.
It feels like he's been in there FOREVER. I know that many of you who read this blog have taken the time to write him, and some have even gone to visit. Your support means so much to us and to him. If you have been thinking about writing him, but haven't done it yet, there's no time like the present! A friend told me the other day that she would, but she "just didn't know what to say". I can tell ya, just the thrill of an envelope from a new person is enough. :) He loves to talk about movies, and is a total comic book nerd. Long sections of my letters are usually just about what movies and TV shows I've seen lately. Oh, and of course, stories about my dogs. He's a big time animal lover.
The rules out there are really strange, so if you write, just make sure of the following:
1) The only things that can go on the outside of the envelope are the "to" and "from" addresses.
2) You must use blue or black ink.
3) No stickers. Ask me how I know. Not even the "from" address can be a sticker. Weirdos.
4) The "from" address has to be a full name. "J. Anderson" will get kicked straight back. Also, it's not you, so that would be weird.
5) You can send photos, but no Polaroids. Weirdos.
At the end of each letter, we put quotes from "Friends", thus the title. :)
Here is the address:

"Alright kids, I gotta get to work. If I don't input those numbers....it doesn't make much of a difference."
