After much wanderings of the internets, I have returned (at least until my wedding) to this literary device as a method for communication of both relevant information and general blatherings.
I am newly installed in my apartment in Milwaukee...
The area is nice, along a major route through the city with regular bus lines. The river to the west is very much a line of demarcation: crossing it places one rather squarely in the "ghetto", and although I am not in that area of town, I am close by.
The selfsame river, however, hosts many pleasant park paths and fields. Two miles to the east my street T's into a pleasant lake-front park, complete with a beach. Thus, as the weather improves, I may find myself indulging in Lake Michigan's cool waters as the summer heats up.
Food is plenteous and convenient, in the form of a Baker's Square and a Culver's across the street from me. So far I have been amply supplied in cheesecake by the former, and plan to indulge in Lemon Ice's from the latter, as climate dictates.
Internets are... suspect, as it appears I share my cable internet connection with a wide variety of whimsical souls in the same apartment building, and my activities are often hampered, albeit temporarily, by their surfing habits. However certain gaming activities have proven themselves to be resilient and not prone to error, despite the underlying flakiness of the network.
On the subject of Flakiness, I have also discovered an excellent Bagel Joint named "Einstein Brothers' Bagels", which is a frequent fixture in Milwaukee, and provides fine cuisine of the round and holy type.
And now, it appears my superiors have succeeded in providing me with direction once again, and I must return to my labors.
Have you found any excellent bagel or cheesecake sources in your area recently? Are they sufficiently abundant that you can share them, or must they be hoarded? You may provide directions and gift certificate codes in the comments.
