I used to work an IT job in downtown Toronto. In the basement of our hip office building there exists an antiquarian book store. One day, I was frustrated at computers so went down there. The man at the store welcomed me, and allowed me as much time as I needed to browse the books. That store is my refuge and I'm convinced that the books there would long outlive the companies that I worked for. My profile photo is a picture of him at the till.
