Don't Worry, Be Happy
In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for a jury trial. Case pleads out. Drive home. Take a nap. In the afternoon drive to Lorena’s house. Xena is so full of energy today. We race up and down the sidewalk. I carry her on my shoulders and she pretends to be an airplane. We have another leaf fight. Drive home. Walk down to the lakefront. It is sunny and nice out.
In the morning drive to a parking lot off Capitol Drive and 108th Street. It is a chilly morning. The Packers kickoff at 8:30 A.M. They are playing in London. Walk west to Calhoun Drive. Walk south to Bluemound Road. Walk west to the Milwaukee County Zoo. Walk around. The animals are well behaved but several kids are throwing tantrums all over the place. Walk north on 108th Street back to my car. Pick up a pizza. See a mouse that is living in my car. It runs and hides. Drive home.
In the morning sit around the house. Still recovering from yesterday’s crash. In the afternoon walk down to the lakefront. It is beautiful and sunny out. Walk home.
In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for a couple of hearings. Drive to Sam’s Club to get Diet Coke. Drive home. Crash out. Too tired to move. Too tired to even sleep properly. Just too tired. Watch “The Witch” (2015).
In the morning drive to the courthouse. There all morning for sentencing hearings. Stop at the jail to see a client too. Drive home. Walk to UW-Milwaukee. Stop to watch the Women’s soccer team win their game. The night sky is the perfect background for this match.
In the morning walk to the office. Work on several files. In the afternoon walk west to 27th Street. Walk south to Lincoln Avenue. Walk west to American Family Field. Last game of the season. Walk home as I listen to the Brewers lose the game.
In the morning walk to the jail. Go in for a consultation. Walk to the office. Work for a little bit. Walk west on St. Paul Avenue to 27th Street. Walk south to Oklahoma Avenue. Get a strawberry ice cream cone at Leon’s. Walk west to 60th Street. Walk north to Beloit Road. Walk in a northeast direction to American Family Field. Walk around the empty parking lot as the scattered fans that showed up get ready for the second to last Brewer game of the year. Walk home.
In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for a hearing. Walk to the jail. Go in for a consultation. In the afternoon drive back to the courthouse for another hearing. Walk south to National Avenue. Walk west to American Family Field. Walk around and see the sparse crowd coming to see the final series of the season. The Brewers win, but are still eliminated from the playoffs.
In the morning clean out the filter on the fish tank. Go to Lambeau Field with Heather, Bryce and Elise. Watch the Packers beat the New England Patriots in overtime 27-24. Always nice to see the Packers winning.
Walk south to Bay View. Walk to Lincoln Avenue. Walk up to 16th Street. Walk past the last horse trough in the city. Walk to the Comales. Eat tacos. Walk home. After dark walk around downtown. The city is active tonight. Spot one goose in Pere Marquette Park. Give it a pile of bird seed to eat.
