Thank you all very much.
Jimmie, when I read your post quickly this morning I saw the words "post office" and "Hey, I know this guy." My heart started pounding with images of those "Wanted" posters and wondered: what have I done now?!
Linda, thank you for dedicating your afternoon to scanning and sending the article to me, when you could have been painting knights and bishops. Ten kilos of dropjes are on the way.

I paint queens, rooks and pawns, too.
I wish I knew what dropjes were, but... ten kilos. And all it took was scanning a few pages...? Need anything else scanned, Scott?

I also wanted to add that an Aussie friend brought me a bag of Darrell Lea Soft Licorice over the weekend. I see I've just eaten 500g of a product containing "treacle", just what is that, really?

I think dropjes is a byproduct of treacle.

Big Dittos to what all else have said....plus, wanted to say that looking at your website and instruction on here....really has helped me in the style of the old masters. I haven't done that many, but, sure do love to get in there and "grisaille" away! 
All best,
Geary

Wow Scott congratulations from Down Under!
I haven't got a copy but I am sure it would be a wonderful representation of your painting skills and be a tribute to your special persona.
Thank you for all of your sharing and generosity on this forum. Well Done!
I also hope that this publicity will generate an never ending painting income for you.

Thank you Geary and Ngaire.
Mike, I believe these Dutch "dropjes" once had a medicinal purpose, and they are an acquired taste being more salty than sweet, like swallowing sea water after being knock down by a rogue wave, which is why I decided to send LTB chocolates instead.
One day I hope to be surprised by a delivery man carrying a ping pong table-size piece of ABS with an attached card reading: "Greetings from sunny Arizona."

Scott, let me add my congratulations to the others'. The Portrait of Jennifer Laoang is just magnificent; the subtle colors and your rendering of her features are exquisite. Can't wait to hear your reaction when you actually see the article!
