Hi. My name is Natasha. Robbie and I were housemates in Seattle. I don't know about you. . .but some of us have found Robbie rather secretive about who she was dating. In fact, I think she developed a superstition about it. . If I don't tell anyone his name, then the relationship will continue to go well. . . So it really wasn't that big a surprise that it was quite some time before I received an e-mail.

" His name is Jonathan."

To which I replied, " Did you know that Jonathan means 'the gift' in Hebrew."

Robbie's response, "He truly is."

So, I would like to make a toast to Robbie and 'the gift'. May your lives together be full of joy and health, laughter and patience and many adventurous trips to Vancouver.

Mazel Tov.
