People watching

Interspersed with my training is dieting and work travel.
So the diet was really thrown off track last week.  But I managed to get the water retention down and the exercise up while I was home.  The scale was back to normal this morning but still not passed the Athena quest. Errr.
and then pops up more work travel.  Today we landed early.  I landed early in Milwaukee.  Found my way over to the art museum.  I had been to the outside of the museum a few years back.  Decided to check it out today.
There were pieces that were truly interesting.  And there were others I could have done.  My friends kids could have done.  Or no one really should have done.  On a Sunday you can imagine there were people there REALLY into the art.  I took in as much as I could.  Some Georgia OKeefe.  Some tributes to animation. An Easter lily painting I wish I could replicate. 
Of course in settings like this the mind races commentary.  By the time I sit down here all comments are blank.
It was a nice way to spend the early afternoon.

Late afternoon I am at the Harley Davidson Museum.  Now I enjoyed my first visit.  Had no real desire to go in again.  So I gawked at the bikes outside.  Then came inside to the restaurant.  This is where I promptly embraced one of my fave travel highlights - people watching!!
The man at the other side of the bar with the braided beard is quite a different site.  The yuppyish guy in his oxford and sweater eating a salad with his beer is the polar opposite. 
I had a salad with my beer too.  It was a bit intimidating in this setting.  I got a side of fried cheese curds to offset the salad.
Now to the hotel.  AND THE TREADMILL!
