New brewery! Redbeard Brewing in beautiful Staunton, Virginia. This is a town I need to spend more time in. Good beer, and brewers are discussing the Nazgûl. It's my people, y'all.

Took the kid on a bike ride through Yorktown Battlefield. Quiet, calm roads, shared by people walking, biking, and driving. It'd be awesome if you didn't have to go to a park to safely bike in Hampton Roads.

I imagine that cooking or entertaining with an island this big is kind of like working on the giant map tables that the RAF used during the Battle of Britain, complete with a big stick to push around a plate of eggs.
