Summer also fades here in Madison, WI as I absorb this fresh brew of Benches. I always seem to be traveling myself when I contemplate the vocabulary of Markus, of Missoula. The Badgers plan to swat away Middle Tennessee State later this afternoon, according to the wisdom of my unknown 8 year old elevator companion. My thoughts are much more centered on tomorrow's full Ironman, which has offered its exuberance to me (as a spectator). The athlete (not me) will travel 140.6 miles, of which 112 miles he will be seated on the bench of his Schwinn. I am focused on finding an assortment of Madison Benches, of which zero have been pre-arranged (locations of Benches would be a welcome addition to the next update of Google maps). My legs will be sore, my back will be demanding attention, and yet I know that Sunday's cheering will involve very limited libations of Bench-enjoyment, as Ironman cheering is a task demanding vertical body placement.
So today, as I prepare my body for tomorrow's triathlon of cheering, I gaze 4 stories down at a homely assortment of benches (with a lower case 'b'), recognizing how they pale in stature to the Benches of Markus
