Royalties

I get a number of regular royalties checks from my work over the years, usually small, but today one came that was almost 4x greater than usual. A sweet surprise! Somewhere book sales were much better than usual. And it's not my birthday until next month. (I told H at dinner tonight, no, please, I don't want a party. I want 2 for the price of 1 dinners at the Japanese buffet, our twice-a-year habit. I'll let the Dec. 9th showing of Juniper Tav be my "celebration".)
