Greg,

I apologize but I am going to have to miss the shindig on Friday night. My 14 year old dog has been at the Vet all week and he called and said he could come home this afternoon. He needs care and my wife will not be home until 6:30 PM. I was really looking forward to ralking about bikes and having a good time. Bill
