Yesterday was Small Business Saturday, the day when people are supposed to go out and spend money at locally owned establishments in their respective towns. The Bookstore where I work celebrated this occasion by having local authors on hand to meet and talk with customers. As the author of The Journey Home: Returning to Chicago (http://www.blurb.com/b/1361398-the-journey-home-returning-to-chicago), I should have demanded "a place at the table, "so to speak, but I didn't. Why push the envelope? In any case, the place was packed all day, so it appears the event was a big success. And for the record, I did not spend any money at either a local or chain establishment yesterday. There goes the economy.
