As you read this, I’m boiling away in Kenosha, Wisconsin where I’m attending two friends’ wedding. Getting up at 4:30 AM to make the plane here didn’t make me the happiest of campers but at least I had the foresight to sip my barely-morning joe out of this udderly fantastic souvenir Wisconsin cup in attempts to enter the proper dairy state\u00a0state of mind.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I have very fond feelings for Wisconsin as not only did I attend four stupendous years of college in Madison, but I returned there last September for my conducting debut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

If I had an inch to spare in my suitcase, always packed as if a natural disaster could hit at any moment and I could sustain myself for weeks despite the fact that I may only be gone for three days, I might have brought my Wisconsin cup. \u00a0But this is a brat and beer state and udders don’t exactly spew the latter.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Besides, the coffee at the Best Western, THE hotel in town, has been lukewarm every time I’ve \u00a0tried it, so it’s not worthy of swimming on top of the milking spouts. But speaking of swimming, the coffee machine is located in the lobby and that overlooks the pool, or should I say poo.<\/p>\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

If it were winter, it would be nice to sit with a nice cup of coffee and ponder the meaning of ‘gister otel gues on y’. \u00a0But it’s summer, it’s hot and humid, and a steaming cup of the stuff is not what me-who-would-rather-have-air-conditioning-chips-inserted-into-her-body-than-sweat needs.\u00a0Which means I’m just fine without my udder cup here in<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
