In the morning go to the Safety Building. Pick a jury in the afternoon. First jury trial since coronavirus hit. Everyone is wearing a mask. Lawyering in a global pandemic. At night go to Orangetheory. Weak effort on my part. Still fucked up from yesterday’s bike ride to Port Washington.
Port Washington
Ride my bike all the way to Port Washington. Listen to the Packers crush the Detroit Lions on the way up there. On the way back listen to the Los Angeles Chargers lose in overtime to the KansasCity Chiefs. Get home in agony. Epic ride. Well over 6 1/2 hours. Totally wrecked myself.
Calling out to me in the darkness
In the morning go to Orangetheory. Nice work out. In the afternoon ride my bike north past Pioneer Road. At night drive to Farm and Fleet to get more cracked corn and feed pellets for the ducks and geese. Stop at Topper’s Pizza. Go home and eat the pizza. After dark walk down to the lagoon and put out piles of the seed around the Bodhi tree. The geese and ducks are out on the lagoon calling out to me in the darkness.
Don’t feel like doing much today
Wake up feeling tired and burned out. Don’t feel like doing very much today. Walk down to the lakefront to put out seed for the ducks and geese. Go to bed early.
Troniyah’s birthday party
In the morning walk to the office. Dig through a big file to try and find a motion issue. Do a couple of court hearings on my cell phone. Ride my bike to the lakefront. Put out seed for the ducks. A bunch of geese come over. They fight over a territory while the ducks go right on eating up all the food. Ride my bike to the jail. Go in for a couple of consultations. Walk down to the lakefront again. Put out more seed for the ducks. Walk home. Drive to the north side. Go to Troniyah’s birthday party. Drive out to Dave and Buster’s. Buy game cards for the kids. They run around the game room all crazy and full of excitement. Drive everyone back home. Get home late.
The sky played a trick on me
In the morning go to the office. Work through a list of things on a to do list. Check off everything. It is sunny and warm. Blow off the rest of the day at work to go on a bike ride. As I begin to head north on the Oak Leaf trail the sun disappears. It clouds over. The sky played a trick on me. Ride home disappointed. Go to Orangetheory. At night walk to the lakefront to put out seed for the ducks.
The soreness goes away
In the morning go to the office. Work all day. In the late afternoon do a court appearance over my cell phone. After work ride my bike to the north side. Go to see Latia. Hang out with her for an hour. Ride home at sunset. Later go to the lakefront and put out seed for the ducks in the dark. Not sure if they are out there in the lagoon. Go home and put an ice pad on my legs. The soreness goes away.
Nice and smooth
In the morning go to the courthouse. Jury trial is adjourned. There are only two cases allowed to go to trial and mine is not one of them. In the afternoon ride my bike out to Highway 100. Ride up to Aquatics Unlimited. Pick up some fish food. Ride east along Oklahoma Avenue. It is cold and grey. It should have been sunny but the sky is hazed over because of the wildfires from out west. RIde over to Mitchell Street. It is nice and smooth from the paving earlier this summer. Go to Orangetheory. At night walk back to the lakefront. It is dark. Put out seed for the ducks. There are only two ducks there to take advantage. Walk home. Fall asleep listening to Monday Night Football.
Nice way to start the season
In the morning walk to the lakefront. Put out seed for the ducks. Walk home. Do a water change on the fish tank. In the afternoon ride my bike to Cedarburg. Along the trial stop to see a bunch of kids soccer games going on at the same time across several fields. Listen to the Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings. Nice way to start the season. Ride back home. At sunset walk back to the lakefront to put out more seed for the ducks. Walk home. Lay on the couch and watch Sunday Night Football.
Speedgoat
In the morning go to Orangetheory. Walk to the lakefront to put out seed for the ducks. It starts raining again. Fifth day in a row. Drive to REI in Brookfield. Get a pair of Hoka Speedgoat hiking shoes. They are made with Gore-Tex for use in rain, sleet and snow. Rain stops. Walk to the lakefront. The sun is barely shining through the clouds. First sighting of the sun in a week.
