one lonely success

today i find myself in Madison, WI attending the 2008 Conference of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS). i’ve been in Madison for roughly 36hrs and—so far—the state’s capitol has been pretty cool.

my hotel is located right up against the Menona Lake and the $20 per night I spent on the lake-view-upgrade was totally worth it. (here’s a photo from my hotel room)

last night as i was walking around downtown Madison, i kept noticing that WI license plates all said “america’s disneyland“.

“what the fuck?” i thought, “…that’s pretty damn arrogant considering that disneyland is the happiest place on earth and all.”

today as i passed the cars parked alongside State St i realized that the plates actually said “america’s DAIRYland” which makes a whole lot more sense…you know b/c of all the cows.
