Pass those Cheese Curds Please...

This week found me in Madison WI for the annual meeting of Big Ten Music Educators.




I will not bore you with the details, but here are the highlights:

• Beer and fried cheese curds with my WI friend, Amanda
• The opportunity to madly scribble thoughts into my "dissertation notebook"  (We are now one step closer to knowing what we're doing for said dissertation, and this is a good thing...)
• Afghani food
• A walk around town, which included an all-too-brief immersion into a local used book store, and a few moments of reflection near this very bizarre tree on this very windy lake

The best part of my trip, however, was that I returned home to find Geoff & Lisa settling into my living room for the annual State College installment of Lauren Lisa & Geoff Get Together and Hash Out Life.  Stay tuned for our adventures!
