Being a freelancer is tough work. Even tougher when tax season rolls around and I have to gather up all my receipts, input them into a spreadsheet and submit them, along other expenses to our tax guy.

Grocery stores are a way of life for me. I like visiting unknown chains when I'm in a new city to see what's cool and interesting. Since the closing of Fresh & Easy and many area Albertsons, I've been looking forward to new grocery stores to replace the empty space. News of one of them caught my... Continue Reading →
