I wrote recently about a mid-May trip to New York City and an opportunity to see George Clooney play CBS newsman Ed Murrow on Broadway. That Big Apple visit afforded my wife, Jeanan, and me an unexpected opportunity to appreciate two other artists with Madison connections — one playing piano, the other flipping hamburgers. As we were starting our trip at Madison's airport, we ran into our friends Ben and Judy Sidran, who were also headed for New York City.

One reason I felt compelled to try to see "Good Night, and Good Luck" — in which George Clooney portrays broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow — on Broadway this spring can be found in a short Wisconsin State Journal story from March 1, 1980.

It’s not clear exactly when Mike May fell for Phil King, but when he did, he fell hard. May, who died in 2022, at 68, was a Madison native who served as Madison’s city attorney from 2004-2020. Well-respected as a lawyer — he had 25 years in private practice prior to his appointment by Mayor Dave Cieslewicz — May also had a wide circle of admiring friends drawn to his exuberant personality. In my newspaper days, May’s extracurricular activities made great column fodder.

In the spirit of our Road Trips cover story, this month’s column is about wide-ranging passions preserved in museums across Wisconsin. Think accordions in Superior, armor in Alma and mustard in Middleton. Glass in Neenah, wood type in Two Rivers and toilet paper in Madison. OK, the Madison Museum of Bathroom Tissue is no longer around, having been flushed more than two decades ago when the curator, Carol Kolb, moved to New York City with The Onion.

It will be six years this summer since a tree fell from a yard across the street and crushed my car, turning me into a bicyclist. The decision not to replace the vehicle was fairly easy, in part because much of my work is done from my home office, and my wife has a car I can borrow if necessary. Finally — this sealed the deal — we live in close proximity to the Southwest Commuter Path, or as everyone in our Monroe Street neighborhood calls it, the bike path.
