Last Flight from Madison Now BoardingI have a feeling most of you Madisonites took time to glance at this article with the idea you might find some help in determining where your next vacation or holiday spot should be. Somewhere warm? Somewhere cold? What activities could be planned for me there? If this was a game show, I would be able to “bomp†you at this point. Wrong! Not in this article, not today. What I want to do is share with you my favorite vacation destination. Its name is New York City, New York! Since the age of 17, I have flown to NYC every two years without fail. I find the city utterly enchanting. I never run out of things to do and places to see. | |
Going to the Movies in MadisonMovie going in Madison is one of my favorite pastimes. I love motion pictures of all kinds. Western, war, action, drama, comedy, you name it and I’ll watch it. My tolerance for horror movies has even grown in the past several years with the more sophisticated additions of the Silence of the Lambs and Scream franchises. They are a far cry from the old Dr. Blood’s Coffin or even the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with all their blood and guts. It’s not only these horror films that have been improved on. I appreciate the enhancements theatre and cinema owners have made through the years to improve my movie going experience. | |

First, think about what you can’t live without seeing, what you’d like to see, and how much time and money you have to spend on your travels. There are so many different options to choose from, places to go, things to see, that you might feel overwhelmed by all of the choices to be made. However, by knowing what’s available, you might be more easily able to choose the activities that are right for you, and eliminate destinations and places that aren’t important to you. | |
It’s Not All Fun and Games in MadisonThe advent of video-gaming, though traced back to 1958, commercially became available to those of us here in Madison in 1972 when Pong hit the market. If you remember this game, it amounted to two players trying to hit an electronic ball back and forth to each other. We’ve come a long way from the drab, slow moving screens of the ‘70s. | |

How to Find an Honest Mechanic in MadisonGrowing up in Madison, one of my all time favorite movies was My Cousin Vinny. One of my favorite lines came from the character Mona Lisa Vito when she was asked what qualified her as an expert in automobiles. She responded, “Well my father was a mechanic. His father was a mechanic. My mother’s father was a mechanic, my 3 brothers are mechanics, 4 uncles on my fathers side …â€. And so goes my life. Everyone who is anyone in my family has or had a career in the automotive industry as mechanics. | |
Shhh! Libraries in MadisonWe are now talking about one of my favorite places to be in Madison. To me a library is more than just a place that houses books but a magical place that lets your imagination come alive inside those books with the information you find there. Granted the atmosphere in these buildings has really changed over the years. Modern libraries have expanded beyond their mere physical walls by including material that is accessible by electronic means. The information is available in many formats, from many sources. Many libraries also provide access to more than just computers. There are fax machines, copiers, even ATM machines and a self-service checkout are sometimes available. | |
