It"s a short list--the famous ski hills of Wisconsin--that teaches one of life"s great lessons: things aren"t always what they are cracked up to be. In this collection of humorous essays, Scott Jacobs explores a boyhood of idyllic pastimes and the questions it led to later in life. Why is Budweiser beechwood aged? Is Black Friday a scam? And where have all the waysides gone?
