I’m looking at the sales numbers coming in and it looks like I had a lot of sales for the Christmas season at Barnes and Noble.

I don’t know about where you live, but around here, B&N is about the only bookstore left, so I wish them well and I hope my teeny-tiny contribution to their bottom line helps.  They are certainly helping mine.  My royalty check this year will be split between getting a new computer system and finally fixing up the front yard (for which my wife has been patiently waiting 24 years).
