Hello Tuesday! Chelsea here.
Welcome to August, friends! This month is going to be a good one. Maybe that’s optimistic of me, but I just have a great feeling about the next few weeks. Not only are we experiencing my favorite annual celestial event right now, but we’re also getting a delicious new Italian restaurant in Columbus. If that’s not enough to be excited about, I don’t know what is. Let’s dive right in this morning, folks! We’ve got a lot to talk about.
