Beyond Reason: Or current resident…
As Steve Martin famously said, “Some people have a way with words. Others… no have way.” I fancy myself in the first camp. I’m kind of a word guy. I love the way words look. I love the way words sound. I love the way words land. I love when you put words together and the combination is like a perfect martini. It elevates, invigorates, and you shouldn’t need that many to get where you’re going.

There were thousands of dollars going unused each month and I thought a lot about what it would mean not just for individuals to have a little more wiggle room in their monthly food budgets but also to our local grocery stores to have those dollars being spent.
