Nope. They’re my just in case stash. What if I have a friend over and they need one? I want to be prepared.

AG

You are such an anomaly.

GE

I try ;)

AG

Also, you might be receiving a package soon. Allegedly. So it would seem.

GE

Really? I’ll keep an eye out!

GE

My very own matchbooks! And they look like hockey sticks! These are sick! Thanks, Lia!

AG

Happy birthday, Grant.

GE

Schedule release day is weird. We find out the teams we’re going up against, but we don’t get to play them until later in the year.

Lame.

One season it should be a roulette. You don’t know who you’re playing until you get on the plane to fly there.

AG

Coaches would never agree to that! Strategy is key!

The good news is I get to see you in December and March.

GE

Feels like forever, but I guess it’s better than waiting until January to play each other!

When do you play Baltimore?

AG

January.

GE

I’ll see you three times in four months? Incredible!!

GE

Happy birthday!
