just to let you know ... when my friend andy (from england) moves here, he and i are planning on a trip to london (#27) for london gay pride if you wanted to tag along. i forget the date, but obviously it's not until next year (or the year after, depending.) not sure if you and the mr. wanted a london vaca all to yourselves, but if not, keep me in mind and we could all travel together. that would be fun!

you have an impressive list here and i wish you the best in completing them in the alotted time. if you need help fulfilling some of them, let me know.

oh, not sure if this counts, but i recycle. maybe you can use me as a retroactive recycler and knock another person off #8.

heart you, babe!
