There's too little joy in this world, if Kinkaid's work brings it to someone I'm all for it. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you did NOT present me with any of it, thank you.

It's no more my cuppa tea than Hummel figurines and someday we'll inherit a wagon-load of those from my MIL, or the "Madonna collection" (not the singer, the other one) we inherited from my wife's aunt. Or Avon bottles or old bottles or stamps....

But if ol' Bobert wants to send me a painting, well, heck, I'd probably break down and accept it. Or one of the Unknown Monets he has in his attic....
