June 2009Vol. 17 Summer Launchin'...
Having a blast! - Justin Moran and I are renovating the Magnet Theater website and launching it on June 12th. The current site I had nothing to do with is located at...
http://magnettheater.comAlthough we've already rolled out the message board (open to anyone who has ever enrolled in a Magnet Class), the whole new site won't be ready until June 12th. Please check the address above after June 12th and let me know what you think.
Two Years - I love Robin and she loves steak. Applying the transitive property of equality (which, of course, applies to love) I love steak. Fortunately, there is a steakhouse in NYC with Robin's lastname (+ an additional "n"). The additional "n" must make it not Jewish as the "Rothmann salad" comes with shrimp and bacon (two items that are decidedly non-kosher and decidedly delicious). Anyway, we went here for our two year anniversary.
(psst...ad campaign) Everything goes well when your relationship is at steak.
