A mystery birthday card arrived in the mail on Wednesday. The envelope had my full name and no return address. The card itself is from Caribou Coffee and read:
Happy Belated Birthday!
Hopefully you can enjoy a shameless latte (maybe even a triple with flavor?) while you study. Love you!
No signature.
I've been racking my brain trying to figure out who sent this card and the $15 worth of coffee with it. I recognize the handwriting (perhaps due to eight years of teaching) and it seems male, but I just can't place it. I've been through all of my old cards and letters, but it just doesn't match any of those. And the postage is metered, so I can't tell where it was sent from.
I admit, I'm enjoying this mystery a bit, but mostly it's driving me crazy. If the card was sent from a blog reader and the name was left off by mistake, please, do claim your kind action. But if it was meant to be anonymous for some reason, well. . . then. . . thanks. I'll have a vanilla latte on you.

Must not be anyone that reads your blog, or if it is, they must want to stay anonymous.
Sucio.
Okay, I sent it.
Hmm. I'm skeptical, lh, but just in case you really did send it -- Thanks! I've been putting it to good use every day before class. My winter coat already smells like coffee.
Love you too.
I hope it's not the card I sent you that you left in my classroom.
