In the morning drive to Racine. Go to the old public visitation booths in the Law Enforcement Building. Sit there for an hour waiting to see the client. An argument breaks out between inmates on the other side of the glass. My client gets into the argument. He can’t help it. He is drawn to conflict like a bee is to honey. Drive to Sam’s Club. The lines are very long. Frustrating. I hate slow people. Fucking hate that. Get home and crash out. Watch Youtube videos discussing the philosopy of Frederick Nietzsche.
Sandburg Residence Hall
In the morning start out towards the lakefront. I am skeptical that I will get very far. It is windy and gray out here. My legs are sore. I am not inspired. The more I walk the better it gets. Walk all the way to Northpoint. Walk down Farwell Avenue and up Brady Street. In the afternoon set out on a much longer walk. Walk up the Oak Leaf Trail to Edgewood Avenue. Walk south on Maryland Avenue. Cut through UW-Milwaukee. Walk up to the Sandburg Residence Halls. The dorms are emptied out. The whole school is sut down. There is no one out here. Walk through Lake Park. Walk down to the lakefront. Wander back downtown. At night pop up to the office to pick up some files for tomorrow. Go over 40,000 steps.
Bluer than usual

Walk south through Lake Park then down to the lakefront. Walk across Lakeshore State Park at sunset. The Governor ordered the park closed to the public starting tonight.
Do not enjoy binge watching
Rainy all day. Tired all day. Unmotivated all day. Lay on the couch and watch the rest of the last season of Star Trek – Deep Space Nine. Some people enjoy binge watching. I do not.
Waiting to vote
In the morning go to the office. Work until the afternoon. Walk along the Oak Leaf Trail to Capitol Drive. Along the way stop at Riverside High School to look at the very long line of cars. All these people waiting for their turn to vote. Walk east to Lake Drive. Walk south through Lake Park. Walk back downtown.
Black Cat Alley
In the morning go to the office. Get some things done but not as much as I would have liked. In the afternoon walk along the Oak Leaf Trail up to Prospect Avenue. Walk up through Black Cat Alley. Walk west on North Avenue. Follow the riverwalk back downtown. Go home and lay on the couch. Feet are sore.

Time flies
In the morning walk up the Oak Leaf Trial to Prospect Avenue. Walk along the lakefront back home. Go home and work more on the book. Time flies more quickly than I realize. So focused on the book.

I cast a long shadow
In the morning walk up the Oak Leaf Trail to North Avenue. Walk east down to the lakefront. Walk along the lakefront to the Third Ward. Go home and spend all day doing a Spring Cleaning. Clean and scrub the kitchen counters. Clean and scrub the bathroom. Vacuum the carpets. Do a water change on the fish tank. Do the laundry. While doing all of that, write a whole bunch more on the book. At sunset walk west on St. Paul Avenue then over to Canal Street. Walk back towards downtown. Admire the beautiful sunset. Everything is bathed in golden sunlight. I cast a long shadow. Great fucking day.
