Cousin Phillipa asked:

>Good Cousin,
>Did this have to be posted publicly?

Yes, good Cousin, I felt so. I thought about it quite a while before I
posted it. and decided that it was best to publish it openly. Private
discussions with Ras have bourne no fruit. He just WILL NOT listen, and
since everything I said is pretty well publicly known, I'm hoping that this
will get his attention sufficiently, that perhaps he'll change his ways, and
improve himself enough to achieve his goal of a Laurel.

I want it for him. I sincerely care about him. If I have to knock him flat
on his keaster to help him get it, I will. Ras has spent a fair number of
postings both publicly and privately, exclaiming that he should be a Cooking
Laurel, while refusing to understand why he isn't. Maybe, just maybe,
someone will get through to him why he isn't, and maybe, he'll learn enough
to achieve his goal.

Perhaps he'll just get mad, say I'm full of it, don't know what I'm talking
about. He may even be right. But if I do less than my very best for him, no
matter how difficult it may be, I'm betraying not only him, but myself.
