These photos of you appeared after my
previous letter of "A
View from Inside Paris" whereas I wrote about Los Angeles Mayor
"................His first name Antonio is like the name of my
cousin's husband who is living in Bali now.......". And in three of
these photos you were in Sun Valley, Idaho. My cousin whose husband
is Antonio has the nick name Ida, a little bit like Idaho.
You were there to attend the Allen and
Co.'s annual media conference on Friday, July 13, 2007.
When I tried to find the website of
Allen & Co, I found it hard to get. Until later on I found in
Wikipedia that beside a businessman, Charles Herbert Allen was also
a painting artist: ".........Twenty-seven landscape and marine
paintings, which demonstrate only one of Allen's diverse talents,
are in the collection of the
Whistler House Museum of Art
in Lowell......"
I don't mean to be disrespectful but how do I know who doesn't
know us? I would assume that because we're small and private a lot
of people don't know about us, but that's the choice you make when
you choose to remain small and private: You're going to be less
well known than some larger firms. But given our size I'm
satisfied with how many people know about us. It's all right with
me...........( Herbert Allen in the interview with Forbes ).

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of
kissing a painting by American artist Cy Twombly and smudging the
bone-white canvas with her lipstick, French judicial officials said
Saturday. The kissing happened on Thursday. She is to be tried in a
court in the southern city of Avignon on Aug. 16 for "damage to a work
of art," according to the news by AFP.
The painting, which is worth an estimated $2
million, was on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Avignon.
Now this amount of price is like reminding me with my previous letter of
"A
Test of Getting Wealthy". Was that a coincidence or a serious
reminder to realize the test to find out whether I am serious about my
consent, only God knows it better.
