Ahhh, Madison. Some of my fondest memories are of that place. Sip a beer at the Union Terrace overlooking Lake Mendota on a crisp fall afternoon, then walk over to state street for any kind of ethnic food you can imagine. Mix that with Packer/Badger football, the intellectual curiosity that permeates the place, and the nicest people in the world. Stir, and you have a the recipe for a heaven cocktail.
