Forgot to Close Flight Plan

Well, a mistake I told myself I would never make happened yesterday. Short round-robin flight away from my towered home field, gone just over an hour, but I filed a flight plan anyway. Great flight, good landing, I put the plane away and drove home in gleeful obliviousness.

I remembered this morning.

I called FSS and owned up to it. The briefer checked and said they called the tower when I was overdue, and the tower verified that I'd already landed. No apparent issue with them, but might I still expect a letter from the FAA or, gulp, enforcement action of some kind?

And what should I buy the tower for lunch for apparently saving my a$$?
