As the chaos dwindled to a reasonable level after our move, I decided it was time to bring back the bookstore mascot – Montag – known to everyone as “Monty.” True to his easy- going nature he did not have a problem with the changes. He walked around the much cozier bookstore, looking up at the taller bookcases, surveying the stacks of boxes, noting the absence of cat-chairs, yet obviously deciding there was enough familiar stuff to call it home again. He found his “boudoir” ready with food, water, etc. Then the customers started to arrive and Monty was definitely on the job again. For over five hours straight he greeted absolutely everyone who came in. He was so glad to see them. Monty is quite happy to be back at work.
