Edmond Update

Well I think I am about a tenth of the way through "Count of Monte Cristo".

I am at the point where Edmond is in prison and he has been secretely digging a hole in the wall, and for the first time in several years he hears a voice of the cell mate that is next door.

I could not help but think of what it must have been like to be Edmund. You were in love with, and going to marry a beautiful young lady. You were going to be a captain of a ship and possibly have a great career as a shipman. Then all the suddenly you are framed and loose it all. Not only that, but you cannot confide with anybody, because you are completely alone except for when the guard brings you food.

Today we rush around with so much to do, and he had absolutely nothing to do. Could I stay sane under those circumstances?

Lets hope I never have to find out.
