I’ve been spending my nights and spare time lately working on a couple of presentations that I’ll be giving at the Texas Library Association’s annual conference in San Antonio next month.

More, I thought about the capital that we build over time doing just this.
I had an experience last week where I made a “house call” across the street to help someone and in my mind, it ended up looking something like this:
