Life Outside Libraries

There's more to life than blogging about travel and libraries.  Lately, I've been helping a friend out with a wine store.  Wow, is that a lot of fun and hard work!  Earlier this month, we were in the papers:

And here's another article:

Yes, there is more to life than libraries!  It takes information skills to get appropriate permits and everything else that goes into getting a business up and running.  Not every librarian has those skills...  Or sometimes it's easier to talk about than to do something as ambitious as launching a startup.  And there is a difference between a small business and a startup.  Chosen Wine isn't doing what everyone else is doing which makes things all that much more interesting.  I won't get into all the details.  Both articles above do a much better job of explaining things.  Journalists are incredible writers.  Of course, having a good story helps too.
