<div>Dear Ron</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Subject: CMT
Syndrome</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Like the Syrian King
I called together my councillors & spake unto them, saying, "Who is on the
side of the Great Kahuna, say, who?"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then up & spake
an eltern knecht, sat at my richt knee, "<strong>There is a prophet </strong>in
the Lowlands, heit Our Ron, & he tells the Great Kahuna what My Lord does in
his bedchamber."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This no doubt
accounts for your sage advice (which I took in advance) about footbaths &
massaging Ruth's poor, little footsies. I am more or less tied to my work
routine, here in Pretoria, but she has hied her off to Darkest Johannesburg for
a bit of Hanukka at a synagogue with a famous choir & choristor. She will be
attending to her own feet for the next couple of days.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You asked for an
update, but she was feeling rather downbeat, so I waited till she was out of
earshot. We are still positive of course, it could be so much worse,
but besides massage & a heavy hand with the horse linament, we are
bandaging her feet for almost any activity out of the house. So it will remain
until the sixteenth of January, when doctors with I hope wiser council will
prevail. Thank you so much for your concern. & for one who swears blind she
is a monoglot, she nonetheless enjoys the English she picks up on the List; for
this our thanks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yrs,</div>
<div>Mark<br><br>----------<br><br>From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>Subject: Members' news<br><br>Thanks for the update, Mark!<br><br>The Kahuna's and my potent energies will be swirling around you and your Ruth at least until January 16 or until you get sick of them, whichever comes first.
<br><br>Poor thing! Some lovely Hanukkah music and lights are just the right thing for Ruth, not to mention remembering the message of the holidays: light in the darkest dark, endurance beyond expectation.<br><br>Blessed be you for making known the power of the Lowlands' own, in Syrian land, no more, no less. It flatters us, I must confess.
<br></div></div>
</div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">And sorry that by mentioning the pampering of poor footsies I unwittingly and touched a delicate or intimate spot and thus put my own foot in my mouth.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">As always, fondest hi and best wishes to both of you!
