To the Editor:
I thought it might be important to let the folks at Polly Hill Arboretum know why I didn’t attend the Aster Identification Workshop last week.
I had to make some value judgments about my discretionary income, so I had to decide whether to pay the $120 fee and pack my own brown bag lunch, or buy five lobsters at Net Result, a handbook on wildflower identification, and a half a tankful of gas for my car.
I chose the latter, just in case you wondered where I was.
