I'm writing a story on this new spice boutique called Spice Ace. The owner used to be in high tech and changed courses late in her career. I'd use this opportunity to say that this is proof that it's not too late to chase your dreams, but since she probably made millions in tech, its easier said than done for someone in her tax bracket. For the rest of us, we're flying without a net. So forget it. Food and shelter trump passion pursuits.—SF
