Most of the remaining expenditure was on grandchildren and hard liquor, which I do not count as food like beer, but as a recreational drug.
Thank you all so much for financing my advanced misbehavior.
Have a thriving 2023!

Writing/Traveling Plans
I have decided to write seasonal, rather than monthly, Journals, four per year, and only 2 history books per year, one for The Aryas Project and one for Plantation America. I hope to write 12 novels per year. This will hopefully limit output to 18 books in 2023, so that I have time to help editing and to visit more readers.
Footnotes
-1. 75% of my calories come from beer, which is $5 a pint, most of the food I buy is for the young men who I stay with, my part of keeping the household where I pay no formal rent
-2. coffee and beer at bar where I use wifi
-3. mailing clothes and boots to myself and flash drives to editor and promoter
