OMG I have to use up a post. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having an actual dialogue with me. So rare these days. We agree of so fricking much it's crazy.
I'm going to semi-retire again, it's been a fun biz, but family stuff needs to get done. Maybe after it all settles down, then maybe we can have an era of "mom and pop" size super quality boutique shops as another retirement venture. ;)
