A Postcard from Madison

You probably know several Madisons. Perhaps you are familiar with the original source of the name in the American lexicon - James Madison, the fourth president of the United States; or perhaps the several towns, cities or counties named Madison, well, welcome to my Madison. Madison, Wisconsin, the capital city of the State of Wisconsin in the United States. It is also the home of the flagship of the University of Wisconsin system and of course The Badgers! Madison metropolitan area also houses the headquarters of the Epic Systems Corporation, American Family Insurance Company, and several Biotechnology and other cutting-edge business and technology corporations. Well, the greatest asset of the city of Madison and its environs is people. Madison folks are smart, educated and open minded citizens that take their civic responsibilities as seriously as they take environmental concerns and the welfare of their fellow citizens. you could say that the unofficial motto of the city is Live and Let Live. With a downtown smack in the middle of an Isthmus, you cannot but have a broader perspective on life and a greater appreciation of the world around you. It is from this vantage point that I will be dispatching Postcards to the world for the foreseeable future. Just like any typical postcard, I will be calling it the way I see it, obviously through my own lens. I invite you to enjoy the view with me. Ike
