Summer’s here, and the time is right for…ice cream. No, not dancing (or dancin’) in the streets. Daniel talks about his favorite summer treat: Blue Moon ice cream. Kat talks about the first ever Take a Ginger to Dinner Day. Yeah, it’s a thing–in her own mind.

Notes from the Geek:

Yes, I will be a judge at Chalk of the Town this Saturday in Old Town. So bone up those drawing skills, kids. And if I don’t survive the triathlon, I want y’all to know I love all of you. Except that one guy. Y’know, the one with the hat? He knows who he is.

I mean it,

Daniel (the Geek)
