Snowstorm and the Bucks lose

Rainy and dreary day

196.1 pounds.  5 minutes on the Elliptical.  The rainy and dreary day has conquered my spirit and I decide not to go out for a walk.   Sit home instead and watch documentaries about the Vietnam War.

UPDATE: Saw the little Siamese Algae Eater zip around the corner of the tank tonight.  I hadn’t seen him or her all week and feared it didn’t make it.  Well, he or she is still alive and thriving!!!

I enjoyed my walk along the lakefront

196.1 pounds.  10 minutes on the Elliptical.  Walk along Lake Michigan from the Summerfest grounds through Veterans Park on up to Northpoint Tower.  Walk down Farwell Avenue to Brady Street.  Walk up Brady Streey to Astor Street and back downtown.  

Spring is taking a long time to get here

196.0 pounds.  10 minutes on the Elliptical.  Walk up Propsect Avenue to North Avenue then back down Farwell Avenue to Brady Street.  Walk up Brady Street then down Astor Street.  Later walk up St. Paul Avenue to the train station.  No evidence of spring in the trees or anywhere on the ground.  

Crossing the Viaduct

Monday is not much of a day

197.2 pounds.  5 minutes on the Elliptical.  Walk up to Marquette and down 12th Street near the freeway.  Cross the pedestrian bridge.  Walk down Vliet Street.  Stop at Best Fish and buy a bag of live brine shrimp.  The fish happily enjoy them for dinner.

Humane Society

197.9 pounds.  Go to Aquatics Unlimited in the morning and buy a Siamese Algae Eater.  It is so tiny.  When I try to release it from the bag it clings to the plastic.  Then when it finally falls into the tank it sits in the corner in a daze.  I chase away the other fish.  I hope he/she makes it.  In the afternoon walk to the Humane Society to look at the dogs.  It is like they are in jail.  They sit in their cells all depressed.

Cubs fans are everywhere

197.1 pounds.  In the morning walk to Marquette and over to the Pabst Brewery and down to Best Fish.  Buy treats for the fish.  See Cubs fans everywhere.   At sunset walk to Miller Park and see Cubs fans everywhere.  Brewers lose to the Cubs.
