One of my first jobs was working for a small business. I enjoyed the casual atmosphere. Have you worked for a small company?
I have a private small business of my own actually, my wife and I have a partnership where she handles the crafts and I handle the business end.
What kind of crafts does your wife do?
She does hand lettering and wedding invitations, cake toppers, just about anything. I handle the sales, running a small business is pretty easy but stressful as well.
Yes, I imagine the rewards are worth it though. I paint and have thought about opening up a small kids art center. 
That's so cool, I went to the Hyde Park Art Center the other day in Chicago, I hope one day my wife can share her art there.
I have never been. I bet it was a great place to visit.
Yeah it used to be called the Fifth Ward when I was growing up but they decided to change it when owners changed I believe.
