Letter1:

Hey,

 I was thinking this morning and then again on the ride to Al the Wops that I should stand up and make a short toast.

  Once we got there it pretty much slipped my mind 'cause I was having"too much fun".

  You all know that times like today are what I live for.  I work hard to be able to afford a bike, leathers, gas, food, and all that other stuff.   You also know it's worth it,but what I'm compelled to say is "Thanks God for keeping me sober long enough to have friends like you".

 And thank you, my friends, for reminding there is a God.

You are the proof.
