Here's hoping you all had a fun, safe summer weekend. The highlights of our weekend included a Gnome named Norm derailing our local Amazing Race endeavor, one of the most amazing brunches ever at A Taste of Belgium, the re-realization I'm not good at 80's video games at the 16-Bit-Bar, loving practically every single thing inside Elm & Iron, and dipping my feet in a wading pool in the sunshine with my wife and kids listening to some good live cajun music.
