How much is that (reading) doggie in the window?

One of our favorite independent book stores, Green Apple Books, is raising money for a youth literacy charity by asking people to sit in one of their bay windows fronting Clement Street and... read.

Yep, they provide chairs, coffee and $5 of credit to their store, for sitting and reading for an hour. They can accomodate two readers at a time, and literate, well-behaved dogs are welcome. I've been waiting for this all of my life. Being paid to curl up with my husband and dog, and read. In many states, these are better labor conditions most jobs.

Apparently, Richard's been waiting for this all of his life, too. I called to tell him we were booked (ha), and to say I was already planning what to read. Richard laughed and said, "I'm already planning what to wear."

More to come as this story unfolds...
