I forgot to mention that I have a literary agent. I submitted some of my written material to several different agencies. One of them took the bite. I feel like such a player, talking about my agent. My agent. They walked me through the copyright process before I submitted samples to them. No worries.
An odd thing happened to me today. I was talking at a payphone and when I looked up I saw a smallish jewelers bag sitting on top of the telephone. The bags look like dime bags from my Cheech and Chong days. In this little jewlers bag was a massive pearl ring. It is set in silver and absolutely huge. If the thing is real it is worth a small fortune. I'm going to wait until my next vacation in Canada and have it assessed by someone there.
