Patrick is Here

In the morning walk to the office. Over lunch walk to the lakefront. Put out seed for the ducks and geese. Walk back to the office. Keep working. Walk home. Do another water change on the fish tank. Go to Orange Theory. Later walk to the lakefront again. Put out cracked corn for the ducks under the Bodhi tree. See the goose with a broken wing wander over. He moves in for some of the food. I am very happy that he got in there for some of the treats. After several minutes the other geese recognize what’s happening and move in to chase him off. They start flocking in to eat the rest. The goose with a broken wing walks over to the lagoon to take a drink of water. I am pleased that I was able to give this injured friend something to enjoy, even if it was for a short while.

In the morning walk to the lakefront while listening to Musica Antiqua. Put out seed for the ducks and geese. Walk home. Do a water change on the fish tank. Walk back to the lakefront again. In the afternoon ride my bike all the way to the Wales station. See two old guys bike up as well. They look totally out of energy. So am I. It is a hot day. I have pushed myself. Chased by a rain storm the whole way back. The grey skies circle all around me. Ride faster and faster. The wind sweeps up. Ride faster and faster. Make it back home just as the rain starts to fall. My whole body is sore. My muscles are shaking. I did way too much. Take a shower. Lay on the couch. Start to calm down. Fall asleep.

In the morning go to Orange Theory. Walk to the lakefront. Put out seed for the ducks and geese. In the afternoon ride the bike out to the Town of Genesse. On the way back ride past Club 400. Take a look at the Club 400 fest. There are a handful of people there. The band is singing “Mad World” by Tears for Fears. Ride back home.

In the morning drive to Racine. Go to the courthouse for a sentencing hearing. In the afternoon go to the office for a little while. Later ride my bike on the Hank Aaron trail out to 116th Street. See the sun setting across the freeway overpass. Ride to Lincoln Avenue. Ride east to the taco truck. Get some tacos. Ride past Lorena’s house. No one is there.

In the morning drive to Kenosha. I like to call it Kenowhere. Go to the courthouse for a hearing. Drive home. Go for a couple of walks down at the lakefront. Very relaxed. Gorgeous summer evening.
