My math teacher's a star!

My high school psychology and math teacher, Mike Maggart, is in the latest AT&T commercial! He's good friends with the famous Hollywood director, Wes Anderson ('Rushmore,' 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' and the latest 'The Darjeeling Limited'), as they both graduated from my high school in Houston, St. John's School.

In fact, Mr. Maggart and several of my classmates had starring roles in 'Rushmore' which was filmed at St. John's during my senior year. Very cool!

Imagine my surprise when, as I'm watching Sportscenter one morning while getting ready for work, and there's Mr. Maggart on my TV!! Crazy!
