Jerry-

Wanted to thank you, quite a bit, for the $500 check, which between
you and me was probably the most welcome gift I've gotten (aside from
a laptop last year that you most likely actually paid for, which was
also fantastic). As you can probably imagine, it will come in handy
for a guy who tries to live off writing "income." Sorry the
reservations were past your bedtime, but hope to see you soon. Again,
thanks.
