Isn’t ice cream a great food!? In fact, I worked in an ice cream plant in my early 20s. Did you know that Moose Tracks ice cream was named for a miniature golf course in Michigan's Upper Peninsula? Thank you to Carla M. who reminded me that July is National Ice Cream Month with an article on the top flavors. It is fortuitous that chocolate and ice cream met, as many of the most popular flavors have it. I know for a fact that mortgage attorney Brian Levy’s favorite ice cream is the uncommon rum raisin, although his latest piece has no relation to it whatsoever. Brian Levy’s most recent Mortgage Musing covers crowdsourced housing policy, professionalism, conflicts of interest in affiliated business arrangements, and whether doctor body cams are a good idea (spoiler alert: no). If you want to be “a-mused” while learning something about the mortgage business, subscribe to Levy’s Musings (it’s free and he promises he won’t sell your email address).
