Hey, Angie.

Happy Birthday, dear heart. I'm sorry that I can't drag you out for fun and food tonight, but we're having an extra long practice... Coach has insisted I get extra practice dodging bludgers. He's crazy. I did just fine, I just got distracted at the game on Saturday. Anyways. Your gift. I had to... twist some arms specially order it for you.  It'll be here November first.  Have a great day, and trust me on the gift.  You'll love it!
