Five Years and Counting

This blessed month of spring (in our city it is spring) is my fifth at Renaissance Man.
How can that be? It feels still new after all the days, months, years. What sustains me are these things:
- The good people who walk in and bring their sunny disposition, their lively engaging discussions, and of course their wallets. (Lets not bring into this the other ones, those who are the complete opposite and are on this earth to test my endurance).
- The wonderful men who love their clothes enough, even after they can no longer enjoy them, to bring them for consignment, with good natured hopefulness and understanding the limitations of this business.
- The time I get to read in between bouts of business.
- The fact that this little shop is MY domain. That is a true privilege (and I do pay for it, dearly).

So - here's a toast to this little shop of mine:
May you prosper and sustain your owner in good health and fortune. Amen.
