[Ponte Alto] There WILL be practice!!!!!

[Max Nelson]

Kevin:

Much more courteously and appropriately put then my missive typed in  
haste and with misspellings.

Thank you for clarifying and for stating in the terms that I would  
much have preferred to have chosen if I had the time, forethought, and  
sufficient calm and presence of mind than I did on the run yesterday.

I apologize if my abrupt missive sent in haste yesterday offended  
anyone.
