To Terri in West Virginia from Dennis in California, I am glad we will be able to celebrate our birthdays January 11th together, if you would only marry me on the 11th, anniversaries would be much easier for me.

To: Janet Fitzgerald
Birthday wishes to my wife, who shares the date (Jan. 8) with Elvis Presley, a fact that carried her through a boring childhood in a small town. She figured that if "Elvis the Pelvis" could get out of Tupelo, she could eventually escape Bernalillo, New Mexico. And she sort of did -- when she married me and moved to a town of 4,000 on the Oregon Coast.
—Tim Fitzgerald

To: Lindsay Whalen and PHC Lovers of MN Womens Basketball
Kudos to Star-Tribune's 2004 Sportsperson of the Year Lindsay Whalen. Minnesota has cherished you all these years. Now, the rest of basketball nation can be dazzled by your on-court magic, love for the game and enjoy your easy and grounded midwestern personality. Thanks for the memories and the new ones ahead in 2005 and beyond. Cindy A. A Whalen fan in South Carolina

Announce an engagement, admonish the babysitter, celebrate a birthday, or just say hi. At each live show, we collect greetings from the audience and from the Web site for Garrison to read on the air.

Each week's greetings will be collected and posted with that week's broadcast in the archive, and may be selected to be read on the air. To see your greeting, go to "Old Shows" and find the week you submitted it.
