Is there a quick code to insert a floating date?

I would like to write a page that always displays today’s date in the body of the page. So when somebody visits the page, it would say, for example:

From: The Desk of Dan
Dallas Texas
Date: [today’s date]

And no matter what day the visitor visits the page, it would always display the current date.

Any ideas for the proper code to do this, or a plugin? I can’t seem to find a function for exactly this need. Thanks!
