I took a little time yesterday evening to go visit a few places that I consider pretty cool on the UW-Madison Campus!
Funny though... You'll hear me get hung on a few words..trying to say "sailboard" and the big thing they put up to watch a movie on..how about a "movie screen" Jay!
One of the great things about going to banking school up here is the opportunity it provides to see new things and places. Yes, I do go to class all day, and even have tests ON SATURDAY...but there's time at night and a good part of the weekend to experience places, people and things in the culture.

RANDOM SHOTS - WI
Just a few random pictures from my stay in Madison and weekend trip to Milwaukee!
This first one is a shot of the capitol building in downtown Madison.
I took a few early morning walks and this is just a random street with homes where students will be living in a few weeks.
The Madison Farmers Market was really quite incredible. This is just one of the many beautiful stands of veggies I experienced. Unfortunately, very few free samples!
Just a random picture of me taking a picture at an old parking garage in my travails to Milwaukee..
It got to be pretty late walking around on my trip to Milwaukee.. At this point I was watching people across the street in an open air restaurant. They could just slide the entire front of the place open.. Very cool!
Just thought this was a cool painted sign in downtown Milwaukee.
Took this one just last night in Madison. Lots of cool neon and I love "The Exclusive Company" statement..
On my way back to my condo (ok, dorm room) I walk across an overpass.. this is my view from up top.
This is the Pres House on the UW campus. It is a church focused on student ministry.
You can grab a great burger at the Memorial Union on campus. I ate there tonight and this was my view..
Take pictures and share them on your next trip. I really enjoy it.
NOTE: All pictures were taken using my regular iPhone4 camera or the app called "Hipstamatic".

The dreaded TEST!
I just really dislike them.. TESTS!
It doesn't really matter how old I get.. taking tests is always a non-fun event.. I have my first round of testing tomorrow after a week of economics, fed policy, credit risk management, marketing and a few other topics. Yes, it sounds exciting I know! It should be short and sweet and almost over before it even starts.. We shall see how it goes very soon.
It makes me think of all those soldiers overseas and the distance of time and space between couples, their kids and their home. Those folks are my heroes for sure.. They truly sacrifice so very much so I can live with such incredible freedom and peace..

We shall see how it goes very soon.But as I study for this actual "test" it makes me think about another "test" I wasn't necessarily planning for this week.. Being away from my family for about 14 days. Sure, some of you, many of you think it might be a good break from "life" as you know it.. I, too, thought it would not be such an ordeal. However, not holding my wife, my girls for an extended time has proven to be something I miss dearly. All the motions we go through at home EACH and EVERY night.. getting them to bed and finally time (maybe) for us to share even a bit of our day... It is missed dearly.

Thankfully, I am home soon.
Since Sunday this week I have been in Madison, WI on the University of Wisconsin campus attending the Graduate School of Banking or GSB-Madison. And there is another week to go.... more on Madison later!
