So a few days ago I’m talking to a friend of mine, Cory, who is a bartender at The Bar Next Door. He was talking with customers who happened to live near Lake Monona. I’m not sure how they got on to the subject, but I guess at some point they started talking about how they would see this guy with a red & white Nautique show up early in the spring or late in the fall and go footing. They’d see him all summer long and see him a lot. They even mentioned they saw him footing on Thanksgiving last year.
That was when Cory went, “I know that guy. That’s Wedge!”
So the home owners on Lake Monona have noticed my love of barefooting. Life’s kinda funny.
In a similar story about a year ago I was talking to a girl I had just met, it was the first week of April, and we got to talking about what we like to do for fun and I mentioned I like to go water skiing, a lot. I hadn’t even mentioned that I had already been out skiing the previous weekend. She mentioned, “You know, I saw some people skiing last Saturday afternoon… They were in a red and white boat. It looked to be pretty cold out there still.”
I replied… “That was probably me. I don’t think there are that many people out skiing yet. And yes, it was cold. But it was fun.”
In weather related news… I’ve been closely watching the lake this week to see if it’ll open up. Forecast is looking decent for this weekend. Things go right, I’ll be on the water.
Hey Wedge,Water opened up behind my house on Beaver Dam Lake overnight. Launch is open. 62 on Saturday.

Z, I think Monona opened up to, but it was hard to tell as I drove by this morning. I’ll be checking tonight. If you need a third on Saturday, let me know. Shoot me an email through my profile.
