Our computer system is back up and running just in time for Thanksgiving. Unlike our MA in Southern Lit (go on, ask us about Carson McCullers or Kate Chopin. Just ask. ), our stepson’s degree in Software Engineering is actually useful in the world of work. Ben was that tall handsome stranger climbing around under our cash stand over the past several days, and on very little sleep has gotten us a new computer, reinstalled our programs, upgraded our hard drive…..not that I really know what any of that means, but we are operational again. Many thanks to Ben and Lew who worked tirelessly to make this happen.

And a million thanks to all of you who came armed with cash and checks, just like the old days. About the only good thing that came out of this was the realization that many of you do, in fact, read this blog. That was really gratifying. And our customers’ cooperation was really heartwarming. Thank you again.

We are open 11-6 today, 11-3 tomorrow, and closed Thursday. Hope to see you during the holidays, but if not, have a wonderful weekend.
