Driving Rain

Go to the courthouse for hearings. Drive to West Allis to pick up paperwork from a client. Feed her cat some snacks. Drive to Sam’s Club to get soda and water. Drive to the Oak Creek Police Station in a driving rain. View videos with a police detective. Drive back home. Tired. Go to bed early.

I see Harley riders

Go to the Criminal Justice Facility for preliminary hearing. Go to the jail for a consultation. Go to the Safety Building. Jury trial is finally adjourned. Nice warm and sunny day. Walk up Martin Luther King Drive to North Avenue. Walk west to 27th Street. Walk east down Wisconsin Avenue. At sunset walk up St. Paul Avenue to 16th Street. Cross the viaduct to National Avenue. Walk east to 6th Street. Walk by the Harley Davidson Museum. See the Harley riders everywhere. Listen to Bucks lose game 5 to the Toronto Raptors.

Waiting

Go to the Safety Building. Judge asks me to wait around to see if my case will go to jury trial. End up waiting at the courthouse all day. No jury trial. Total waste of time. Go to Orange Theory.

The crowd is disappointed

Go to the Safety building in the morning for a hearing. In the afternoon walk along the lakefront to Northpoint Tower. Stop at Ian’s for a slice of pizza. Walk along the river back downtown. Stop at Best Fish for a bag of worms for the fish’s dinner. Go to the office. At night walk up Prospect Avenue to North Avenue. Walk to the Fiserv Forum. There is a disappointed crowd gathered there to see the Bucks get clobbered by the Toronto Raptors. The series all tied up 2-2.

Mission Statement for Summer 2019

I choose to reach my goal weight (168 pounds) this summer, not because it is easy, but because it is hard. This is a challenge I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, and one that I intend to win.

Overnight leak

Wake up and smell the aroma of burning plastic. Check the filter on the fish tank. It sprung a leak overnight. The extension cords and power strips are all wet and burned out. Throw them out. Clean up the mess from all the water that leaked out of the filter. Go to Home Depot for a new metal power strip with ten outlets. Seal the filter properly. Start it up again. Go to the office. Pack up a client’s file and mail it off. At sunset walk south on 27th Street to Oklahoma Avenue. Stop at Leon’s for a vanilla ice cream cone. Walk north on 35th Street. Listen to the Bucks lose game three to the Toronto Raptors in double overtime.

Happier at the end of the day

Go to Pick N’ Save in the morning to grocery shop. Stop at Home Depot to get air filters for the furnace. Do laundry. Feel depressed. Go to the office. Go to the jail for a consultation. Go back home. Clean out the filter on the fish aquarium. Begin to feel better. Walk along the lakefront to Northpoint. Walk along the river back downtown. Happier at the end of the day.

Raptors arrive on the team bus

Go to the office. Get very little work done. Walk to the U.S. Bank Tower for lunch. On the walk back see the Toronto Raptors arrive on the team bus at the Pfister Hotel. Go home. Take a nap. Pleased that I fall asleep very deeply. Go to Orange Theory. Walk to Miller Park while listening to the Bucks clobber the Toronto Raptors in the NBA playoffs. Rain falls here and there along the way.

Another win for our Bucks

Poor night of sleep. Kristine is a little heartbreaker. That’s all I want to say about that. Drive to Racine. Go to preliminary hearing court. Drive to Arby’s. Barely finish my sandwich. Drive to Milwaukee County Jail for a consultation. Walk to the office and work all afternoon. Walk up St. Paul Avenue to 16th Street. Go up the stairs and cross the viaduct. Head south to Lincoln Avenue. Walk east to 7th Street. Walk back downtown. Go to Orange Theory. Very sweaty from killing it in there. At night walk to the office. Scan some police reports. Walk to the Fiserv Forum. Very crowded. Bucks win game one over the Toronto Raptors.
