Lee, should I make the assumption that you're talking about the GC trophy you received at the Louisville show? If so, I'm hurt and I'll be happy to replace your trophy with something else.

Thanks for the photos!

Lovely kohakus at the show. Very interesting head on the GC.

Cindy,

What is it they say about those who make an 'assumption'?

Therefore, let me most directly suggest that you should not take anything which has not been said to you personally and (most importantly) NOT directed to you personally - as something which you should or could assume was intended for you. Or, for you to take personally nor personally assume was ever meant for you...Or is even remotely related to you!

Is this O'k with you? It is with me. And, I do certainly hope it is O'k - with you. As to take what was not meant for you personally and would only be an embarssment to us both...

Therefore, Cindy don't you agree that if everyone on this planet was to assume everything or anything which was written or said or which may have been overheard was directed to harm them personally; or someone that they knew and also loved or felt an affinity to - then this world would be in far worse chaos than it already is...

Now, wouldn't it?

And, we certainly don't want our world to be any greater filled with more anger and/or any more hatred than it already is...(particularly) due to a falsely believed and a totally incorrect 'assumption'.

Now, do we?

I think not!

However, you can most certainly accept this as it is NOT an assumption; that I adore you! And, I adore and love and genuinely appreciate EVERYTHING which has ever been given or granted to me in this very long life of mine.

Including my chicken pox. My bicyle. My home. And, my university degrees. As well as, all of my scars, all of my healed broken bones and those various replaced body parts without which I would not be alive today.

Even more so I also appreciate my children and my grandchildren and all of the many wonderful valued gifts from the deep goodness of my friends and family which vary in sizes and types - of gifts and awards and trophies which I have received over this very long number of years of my now very lenthy lifetime.

In fact, I have never now or in the past - ever rejected nor have ever disliked ANYTHING which has been given to me by the hand of genuine kindness or from the hand of genuine charity...

Thus, should you find it in your heart to allow me to again plant a sweet kiss upon your warm cheek...that to would be a genuine kindness and a kind charity for which I shall also remain forever grateful for your having permitted me to do so...

However, I won't ever make the ASSUMPTION nor ASSUME that this would be permissible (for me) to do, without your personal agreement and approval.

Thus, I won't make any assumptions. If you too won't make any assumptions either. O'k?

Respectfully,

Lee Aronfeld
