In the morning ride my bike down to the lagoon. Put out cracked corn and sunflower seeds for the six geese and the ducks. The seventh goose that hangs around the other six goes off to the other side of the Bodhi tree to eat from one of the piles of food. Will they ever let him join their gang?

Eat a very delicious turkey sub. Ride my bike south on the Oak Leaf Trail. Ride all the way to Drexel Avenue. Ride east to Grant Park. Ride north up Lake Drive.

In the morning drive to the lagoon. The six geese are waiting for me. There is a seventh one that hangs around the other six. He is not part of their group but they let him be around them. He eats from a separate pile that I put on the other side of the Bodhi tree. Will the other six let him join their crew after the hazing period ends? I will keep watching the situation develop. In the meantime the ducks still go absolutely crazy whenever I put down food for them. Drive back home. Do a couple of court hearings over my cell phone. Drive around and do some grocery shopping. Stop at Farm and Fleet for more cracked corn and sunflower seeds. Later walk down to the lagoon. Put out more seed for the geese and ducks. There are other geese that show up and a fight kicks off. The ducks ignore them and keep eating away.

It kind of shocks me a first but then I remember this is Trump country out here. My pain is gone. The apple pie and the smiles on the little kids cured me. Ride home in a nice mood.

Walk to the office in the morning. It is dark and gray outside. Raining on and off all day. Clear out of the horrible little space I had been using on the fourth floor. Move it back into my old office on the second floor. Go up and down the elevator a bunch of times to toss out boxes and other garbage. There is a girl sitting in a chair in the lobby with a laptop. She is typing away on something. We keep smiling and saying hi to each other every time I go by. Eventually I leave to go home. We smile at each other again. It was the nicest part of my day. Of course I will most likely never see her again. Sit home at night all frustrated and depressed because it is raining and cold outside.

In the morning walk to the office. It is my last day in that horrible little space on the fourth floor. The work on my old office space on the second floor is done. Ready to move back in. This is the first time 2020 is finally giving me back something it had taken from me after the fire in the building. Feels very good. After work ride my bike along the Hank Aaron Trail out to the Greenfield Golf Course. Ride back along Lincoln Avenue. Stop at Stacked Burger Bar on the way home. Pick up a burger and fries. Ride back home in the dark.
