In the morning, go to the sixth floor of the courthouse to continue jury trial. Stay all day for the jury trial. Later, walk to the office to work on a few case files. My mood goes from super tired to relaxed and happy as I get my work done. Go home. Watch a little television. Go to bed early in order to be re-energized for more jury trial tomorrow.
Obscenely overcharged
Go to the Safety Building in the morning for a jury trial. Case is adjourned. Go over to the courthouse for a different jury trial. Spend all afternoon picking a jury in that case. After work, walk to the corner market to get soda and water. Obscenely overcharged. At night go to Orange Theory. Listen to AOC and the rest of “The Squad” speak out for the entire hour on Democracy Now!
The polar bear is out in the snow with me
Walk out to the zoo. The snowstorm outside slowly builds. It grows into a powerful storm as I walk around the zoo. Only the polar bear is out in the snow with me. The rest of the animals are inside where it is warm and cozy. Struggle to trudge through the unshoveled sidewalks all the way back downtown. At night watch the Oscar awards show.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
In the morning go to the office and get a few things done. In the afternoon walk along the Oak Leaf Trail up to Brady Street. Walk back downtown. At night watch all the episodes from the Arrowverse that make up the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event. Too campy and too silly. Not very good.
Democrat debate
Go to the office in the morning. Go to the jail in the afternoon for consultations. Go to Orange Theory. At night walk up Prospect Avenue to North Avenue. Walk down Farwell Avenue to Brady Street. Walk down Cass Street back downtown. Listen to the Democrat Presidential debate from New Hampshire.
A questionable mural
In the morning, go to the Milwaukee County Courthouse for a couple of hearings. Stop by the County Board of Supervisors hearing room. The mural above the chairman’s dais is questionable. The pioneer is depicted holding a gun as one Native American crouches beheath him while two other unarmed Native Americans stand across from him.
Parasite
In the morning drive to Kenosha. Along the way have a phone consultation with a client. Go to the courthouse for a restitution hearing. Drive to the House of Correction to see another client. Go to Orange Theory. At night watch “Parasite” (2019). It starts out as a wacky comedy then turns into a violent, bloody shocker.
Still haven’t finished
In the morning do nothing. In the afternoon go to the courthouse for a status hearing and a preliminary hearing. Afterwards walk over to the Oak Leaf trail. Walk out to Capitol Drive. Walk back down Oakland Avenue then Farwell Avenue then up Brady Street and down Cass Street. They still haven’t finished counting the votes in Iowa. What a mess.
A catastrophe in Iowa
In the morning go to the Safety Building in the morning for status hearings. Go to the office to work on getting out invoices for closed cases. In the afternoon Go back to the Criminal Justice Facility for a preliminary hearing. Go back to the office to do some accounting and pay bills. Watch the movie “1917” (2019). Go to Orange Theory. At night walk up Prospect Avenue to North Avenue. Walk down Farwell Avenue and up Brady Street. Feet get sore. Jump on the Hop and ride it back downtown. Listen to the coverage of the Iowa Caucuses from Pacifica Radio. The results are delayed. The democrats screwed the whole thing up. Something about an app that didn’t work. No winner is declared on election night. It is a catastrope in Iowa.
Lazy Sunday
In the morning walk west on St. Paul Avenue. Give up somewhere after passing the train station. Go back home. In the afternoon walk up to Cathedral Square. Walk back home. Lay on the couch. Watch the Superbowl. Lazy Sunday.
