Some temporary schedule changes and an Invitation

Dear Folks,

     Cynthia and I are going to a Book Fair on Long Island this weekend and Alice will run the shop on Saturday but she'll only be open from 9-5 so shop early (and abundantly.) We made some great holes in the shelves as a result of our October sale but I've already brought new books in from the wings (and from the thousands we had stored at Glen Fern) so there is plenty to look at.

      Earlier this week I got a wonderful surprise when I got a last minute invitation to re-une (if that's what you do at a reunion) from my four housemates at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. We haven't seen each other for decades. They mainly still live in the midwest and we'd lost touch. When they planned the reunion they went to my high school's alumni office to get my address and were shocked to find that I was "deceased." But as luck had it, they just learned otherwise and I'm making a fresh from the dead trip to the midwest to see them and lots of other friends. I am really excited and grateful that Cynthia blesses this indulgence on my part and will keep the shop open but is sane enough not to work 12 1/2 hours a day. So we will be open Friday the 11th, Saturday the 12th, and Monday the 14th from 10 to 5 only.

      Looking further into the future, we will once again be open late on Friday nights between Thanksgiving and December 17. Last year, my neighborhood generously decorated the Station and it looked marvelous. They also had our block party on one of the Friday nights and Boyer Street had their party on a Saturday afternoon. I hope they will be back but want to invite any other groups to sign-up for a Bookstore Holiday party. We sure had fun last year and the community support and buying that happened really made a difference in our ability to stay open and continue to be your bookstore. So talk to your block, your office, your bowling team - whatever and plan a party here.
