March 18th, 2015

Since becoming a full-fledged adult (or at least playing one on the Internet) I’ve been a homeowner, a renter and a landlord.  Basically, I’ve been scattered all over the real estate map. Currently, the calendar is marching towards the expiration date on my lease, but I’m not feeling keen on renewing. So, I’m on the prowl for a new space.
