The BASWA, business association event -- IAWL  in the South Wedge -- brought happy shoppers to the neighborhood. Since Boulder Coffee Café was on the edge of the caroling and crowds, it was quieter there, but I had the pleasure of meeting Boulder’s owner, Keith Rose. While doing updates for the BASWA magazine that came out in November, a little voice in the back of my head had wondered if Boulder still had the same owners I had interviewed a few years ago? I missed including Boulder in the updates. Ends up, BASWA held its monthly meeting at Boulder in September.  I didn’t meet Keith then, but I now plan to contact him for the May issue ahead of BASWA’s big annual fundraiser, the Beer Expo, in June. Full Circle. Life is good.
