Nonetheless, it's good to be back

There is an oft used maxim that no plan ever survives first contact with the enemy. It's as true for retail as it is for combat. I'm incredibly grateful that my slice of the mercantile is comfortably removed from the veritable abattoir of commerce that malls become at this time of year, however, that does not mean that my store is completely overlooked.

I had thought I had adequately planned my posts to compensate for the attention that the increased traffic would require.

No such luck. Even now, I am stealing the time to type these words.

At least the store is doing well.
