Just got my royalty statement from Penguin. It comes in a large envelope with a window pane. (Cellophane not to be confused with late 70’s acid.) I still find it miraculous that after nine years the book is still earning a royalty. Not a fortune, mind you. But enough to buy a bracelet and a few qualudes, as a good friend once put it. 

I want to thank everyone who bought a copy this reporting season. And if you send me your address, I’ll send you an original, authentic pencil from the historic and highly imitated marketing campaign. I know, this blog never stops giving.

I can’t believe this entry doesn’t have the longest comment thread!
Fools.
I’m working my way through the archives, dying to comment on every single post. Can. Not. Stop myself on this one. Bracelet and a few quaaludes. *sigh of happiness*
