Greetings and Happy New Year from Go Magic Go!

This is just a quick note to tell everyone that we haven't quit doing the show. Circumstances beyond our control forced us to postpone last week's (and this week's) episode. Keith was in Asia, and due to the Taiwan earthquake, communication to the States was limited. His cell phone stopped working, as did his e-mail accounts. (He's fine, though, and we're sure he'll talk about it on the next show.)

Andrew and Keith will be back soon. We promise.
