The stories in this book offer a fair view of recent and not-so-recent life in Madison, Wisconsin, and include a tale about the man who got rich writing the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle, as well as one about a young hitchhiker who had decided to try to start her life over in Madison, but never made it to the city.

From the Inside Flap:

From the Author: In this book you'll find stories about the man who got rich writing the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle, as well as one about a young hitchhiker who had decided to try to start her life over in Madison, but never made it to the city. Taken together, I hope the columns offer a fair view of recent and not-so-recent life in Madison—the best place to live on the planet, in my admittedly biased opinion.
