Labor Day. It’s almost upon us. It marks the end of the summer and beginning of the school. It’s a chance to enjoy one last hurrah before the cold reality of fall sets in. I don’t know if you’ve got any plans for the holiday, but I’m getting excited about a road trip to beautiful Madison, Wisconsin: visiting breweries, exploring new restaurants and maybe getting in a final…
