Go to Sam’s Club in the morning to get soda, water and a few other supplies. Go to Pick N’ Save on 27th Street for more groceries. Go down Layton Avenue to get a Culver’s cheeseburger, fries and hot fudge sundae. Lay on the couch all afternoon.
Its Friday
Go to the Safety Building in the morning. Litigate a suppression motion. Try to throw out client’s confession to the police. Run out of time so no decision by the court. While waiting for that case to be called the judge appoints me to represent another defendant. Go home. Fall asleep. Take a nap. Wake up refreshed. Go to Orange Theory. Have a great workout. Relax at night while listening to The Beatles.
Verdict and more Kristine
Go to court for jury trial. Present testimony. Argue the case to the jury. Verdict goes against the client. Afterwards however the judge tells me that the jury told her they really liked me and I did a good job. I feel happy about that. Go get Kristine. Take her to my office. Do her tax returns. Take her back home with me. Have a whole lot of fun with Kristine. Awesome fun. Go get chinese food for dinner. Overall a great day.
Jury trial in the Safety Building
Go to the Safety Building for jury trial. Slept ok but was woken up in the middle of the night by the fire alarm going off. Pick jury in the morning. Have tacos for lunch at the Courthouse Cafe. Cross examine the prosecution witnesses in the afternoon. Go to Orange Theory.
Court up north again
Drive to Green Bay while listening to lectures about World War I. Go to a hearing at the Brown County Courthouse. Drive home while listening to a variety of radio stations playing different kinds of music. Go to bed early again tonight.
Energy Drain
Go the jail in the morning for consultations. Go home for lunch. Go back to court for sentencing. Client and his family are very happy with the outcome. I am super tired. An energy drain has taken place. Go home and crash. Sleep for eleven hours.
LIII
Go to the office in the morning to take care of some accounting. Walk to Bay View. Stop and turn around after my feet get soaked in a deep puddle of water hiding under a bridge. Go back to the office in the afternoon to prepare my files for the week ahead. At night walk up Prospect Avenue to Brady Street while listening to Superbowl LIII.
Gideon’s trumpet
Warmer but rainy today. Go to the grocery store in the morning. Decide I am tired and go back to sleep. Watch Gideon’s Trumpet starring Henry Fonda. Watching it inspires the defense lawyer in me. Do a water change on the fish tank.
Petition for Review
Walk to the office. Not super cold anymore. Work at the office on finishing a Petition for Review to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. Print out and assemble the copies. Walk to the post office to mail them out. Feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Same as yesterday
Walk up to the office. Below zero windchill again. About the same as yesterday. The city is not as empty. Don’t work hard at the office today. Pick away at a Petition for Review to be filed with the Supreme Court. Walk back home.
