Rural Retail

A vision, from Seth Godin, of a retail experience so wonderful that you might actually pay a dollar just to be in the space for a while.

Yes, it's a rural bookstore/lifestyle concept in Massachusetts, and how lovely it looks...

Here's what the blogger at Publishers Weekly thought of it:

Alex at 3 months

OK, so it's almost 3 months, and this is written on the eve of his lovely mother's birthday... but anyway...

He's great. Life-changing and life-affirming. He has a ready smile that makes us glow as a family.

He's really good at letting us know what he likes, and what he hates, and there's not much in between.

Every day I see more going on, more love, more happiness, more everything.

Now I'm inspired to do more dad-blogging, or whatever it's called.

Inspired by more great writing by Ta-Nehesi:
