George,
ReplyDeleteROFL. This actually made me think of a wonderful old upholsterer's in Philly where I used to go for my braid and tassels, until they retired and ran away to Florida.
I have to go shout "Kretchford" in my neighborhood store now.
Wait. I live in a megalopolis. I don't have a neighborhood store to shout in. Or a wonderful old upholsterer's, either.
Damn. Now I gotta move to Canada.
