Ever heard of a cool little grocery store chain called Trader Joe’s? Okay, maybe I’m the only one who hasn’t. We just had our first store open here in Virginia Beach a few months ago. I must say, I am impressed. I had a very positive experience on my first visit and have returned several times since.

It’s 5:00 AM, I’m in a deep sleep and having an awesome dream. Much to my discontent the phone rings. I jump up, eyes wide shut, clamoring to see the clock. “Who could be calling at this hour?”, I thought. “Has someone been hurt? Stranded.
