OHMYGOODNESS. i feel horrid. i asked you months ago to refresh my memory as to your birthday and now i've gone and forgotten. i am so ashamed. i'm sending your birthday gift tomorrow. please forgive me!
as for your list: though new england boasts the best fall colors, virginia's aren't bad and i would LOVE to have you here -- name the date!
