[BHV] Five Lakes and a Steak

[Jeremiah Ayers]

Bill,

Nicely written.  I don't consider it thoughtlessness at all but thanks for
the apology.  I completely why the ride is on Sunday.  I hope you know I was
only kidding with you.  Maybe one day, I will be able to get in a Sunday
ride with you all.  For now, I'll continue my current practice of attending
an actual church and while doing so, I'll be thinking of you all praying for
blessing and safety.  And I know you all will be thinking of me, wishing you
were where I was ;-D  ..... okay so maybe not.  Either way, I trust you will
all have an awesome time when it rolls around and I'll just look forward to
the other opportunities.

Jeremiah
