I got a mailing from Google...

...concerning my earnings to date from this blog. It's well over $17.00 now. Remember, if you're an official follower you will be eligible to attend the annual dinner that I am planning to throw with the money I earn from this endeavor. So far it looks like, after taxes, it will be Vienna hot dogs. (At this rate I may even have to borrow from next fiscal year's projected earnings to make up the shortfall.) But I can assure you it will be well worth the effort on your part to attend. There will be plenty of lively conversation and much fellowship. Stay tuned for details.
