A new attendance record, a lively discussion, and an interesting presentation characterized this most recent meeting of the Madison Skeptics. Twenty attended the meeting and 12 of us stayed around after and had a nice meal and more conversation in front of the fire in their adorable back room. Thanks to all who came. See you in two weeks!
