Retail

(This is one of my favorite photos by the master fashion photographer, Paolo Roversi.  It is my screen saver.)

No time today.  Early meeting.  What a hideous thing to write.  "Early meeting."  It sounds so corporate.  Sounds like commerce and industry.  Retail, maybe.  Yet that is what everything is becoming, isn't it?  We've taken the luxuries away from an entire generation and replaced them with digital electronics.  We've whittled the eternal verities down to one.  Subsistence.  

I sure hope I have a clean shirt.
