Rowan,
Just reading our post has made my day-week-month, heck, the year for that matter. It is so good to see that you are able to get some cycling in, and you have a wonderful lady to be your guide too. You truly surpassed early expectations for your level of recovery, prayers and hard work won the battle. You and Machka always have a place to stay, and another good meal or three, should you both get back over our way. Sharing my birthday with y'all was so much fun and great fellowship.

Oh, Chapeau to Machka on earning her Masters Degree, perseverance thy name is Machka.

Bill
