The Menagerie

Go to the Safety Building in the morning. Sit around waiting for my cases to be called. In the afternoon relax and watch Star Trek. Watch the two part espisode “The Menagerie”. Go to Orange Theory.

Milwaukee Harbor

Go to the office in the morning. Work on a response brief to a joinder motion. In the afternoon go to the Criminal Justice Facility for a preliminary hearing. Go to Orange Theory. At night walk to the boat launch point at the Milwaukee Harbor to look for a geocache. Look and look and look. Don’t find it. Walk home disappointed. Listen to the Bucks stomp all over the Atlanta Hawks.

Just like Neil Armstrong

In the morning go to the Safety Building for a quick hearing. Drive to Racine. Go to the Law Enforcement Center for another quick hearing. Stop at Pick N’ Save to get groceries. See another lawyer in the parking lot loading items into the trunk of his car. In the afternoon go to the office. Draft a bunch of letters to send out to clients. Walk along the lakefront. See workers paving a part of the lakefront trail. Start to walk around the site. A construction worker waves me over and says I can cross the newly paved section. It is dry. “You are the first one to walk on it”, he says. Just like Neil Armstrong. Walk to the stairs in Back Bay Park to look for a geocache. Look until it gets dark. I don’t find it. Walk home in a great mood anyway.

Walk down into a ravine

Go to the Safety Building in the morning for jury trial. Cut a deal with the prosecutor. No trial. Go to the office. Work on getting bills out for payment. In the afternoon walk to North Avenue to look for a geocache. Walk down into a ravine. Find the geocache stuck inside a wall of rocks. Post a photo on the app and brag about my success.  At night go to Orange Theory. Later go to Walker’s Point to look for another geocache. It is a little container with magnets attached tucked into a park bench. Write my name and date on the paper roll inside. Post a photo on the app and brag about my success. 

She is dancing and shaking her body

In the morning walk to Lakeshore State Park. Climb out on the rocks along Lake Michigan. Find the geocache tucked in the rocks. Post a photo on the app and brag about my success. Walk down to Veterans Park. Walk out the middle of the park. It is a wet, muddy and sloppy mess. Find another geocache. It is inside a fake rock which is hidden under a bigger rock. Post a photo on the app and brag about my success. Walk down further by the lagoon. Find another geocache under a pine tree. It is a little toy alligator. Post a photo on the app and brag about my success. Walk over to Brady Street. Walk to Pizza Shuttle. Get a slice of pizza. Walk back downtown. There is a very cute girl walking in front of me. She is dancing and shaking her body. She must be listening to music she likes. Maybe she is happy. Maybe she is a little weird. I love it. I ask the universe to bless me by bringing a girl like this into my life and get quick about it. Later after dark walk around to look for more geocaches. It is rainy and miserable out. Give up after a few minutes. Go home and do some laundry and watch football.

Geocaching

In the afternoon go to the office for a little while. Don’t do very much. Run across a new app to use on my walks. It is called “Geocaching”. Walk up Prospect Avenue all the way past Northpoint. Go to the southern end of Lake Park. Look all around the benches for the Geocache that is hidden there. Use the flashlight on my iPhone. Can’t find it. Walk back downtown. Walk to Pompeii Square. Look all around the benches. Just about to give up. Wait. Found it! The geocache is a small container stuck underneath the bench using velcro. Take a picture and post on the app and brag aboout my success. I am excited. All this is happening while I listen to the Bucks clobber the Indiana Pacers.

Positive about my progress

Lay around all morning. In the afternoon drive out to the House of Correction for a consultation. My quads are sore. Drive to Racine for a quick hearing. Go to Orange Theory. Feeling very positive about my progress. Post a photo of myself and brag about it all on Facebook.

This is the shirt I wore when I went bar hopping in Oconomowoc back in the day. I was in my 20’s then and this shirt always fit kinda tight on me. Now I wear it to go to my workouts and its getting too big for me.

Guild Battlegrounds

Go to the Safety Building in the morning for hearings. Walk over to the courthouse for another hearing. Stop at home for lunch. Go to the office in the afternoon. At night lay on the couch and play the new Guild Battlegrounds feature on Forge of Empires.

Joker

Go to the Safety Building in the morning for a hearing. Go to the jail for a consultation. Drive to Firestone to get my car fixed. Bad waterpump. Stuck there for three hours. Walk over to Southgate Cinema. Watch “Joker” (2019). Drive to the House of Correction. Go in for a consultation. Drive home. Go to Orange Theory. Go on Facebook. Post my legal analysis of the homicides committed by the Joker in the movie.

I saw Joker today while my car was getting fixed. My legal opinion as to the homicides Joker committed in the film: The three guys Joker kills in the subway: two are done in self defense but the third guy is shot in the back at close range while in retreat. Joker does not have the privilege. Joker flees the scene. This demonstrates consciousness of guilt. Therefore no insanity defense. Joker can argue adequate provocation since the guys on the subway all attacked him first. That gets him to 2nd Degree Intentional Homicide. When Joker kills his mother in her hospital bed it is an intentional act. However, by this point in the film he is fully delusional. Joker is seeing people that are not there, cannot control his emotions, and has been off his anti-psychotic medications for some time. Insanity defense. When Joker slammed his co-worker’s head into the wall several times in front of a witness who he lets go he shows no recognition that the act was wrongful. Insanity defense. Finally, when Joker shot Robert DeNiro in the head on live television he again shows no recognition of the wrongfulness of his conduct. Insanity defense for that one too. Dark movie. Interesting legal issues though.
