Madison: A Nice Place To Be
Wil and I recently moved to Madison, WI, and we are loving it! Wil has promising job leads at a few very respectable establishments, and I'm working at the University with the Space Science and Engineering Center (sounds cool, right??), studying how satellites see snowfall at Earth's surface.

Wil and I agree on almost everything we want in a house, but the housing market here doesn't agree with our budget! Even so, I think we'll find a great first home in the next year or two. Madison is the capitol of Wisconsin. From April to November a huge farmers' market surrounds the whole capitol square! The "Urban Target" here has an escalator for your carts. Incre
