We were scheduled to lecture at U Wisconsin beginning at 12 noon on Friday, so we started our ride from West Baraboo, WI early -- at 6:30 am -- and made sure to keep up a good pace. We arrived at out hotel in Madison at 10:30 am, giving us plenty of time to shower and change before heading to the Medical Center for our talks. We were hosted by good friends in the Radiology department -- Myron Pozniak and Mark Kliewer. On Friday evening, we went out for an excellent sushi dinner with Myron, his wife Kathy, Mark, and his wife Eileen.
On Saturday, we got up early to eat breakfast at the farmer's market, then spent the day both touring the town and working on our book. Madison is a lovely college town,with a plethora of bicycles and full of eclectic restaurants and quirky shops.
