Such a Great Film

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
Watch The Future of Food. The revolution will be metabolized.
 
This is a wonderful film and it pre-dates the new big film to come called Food Inc. This film deals with how processed our foods are; the policies and marketing tactics used; and what we need to know about our food supplies. It is very well done and we are proud to bring it to you on SnagFilms.com. Click here to fire it up.

“The Lost Son of Havana”

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
I went to see this great documentary film on Monday night and met the directors, producers and the star of the show, Luis Tiant. The film was a sports film - produced in conjunction with ESPN - but, more importantly, was a film about family, coming home and politics as well.
 
My family and I really enjoyed it. It brought back lots of memories to me about growing up in Lowell, Mass; going to Red Sox games; and then watching the Sox play the Reds in the World Series from my dorm room at Georgetown University. Luis Tiant was truly then “EL TIANTE”.
 
I am going to the Nationals game tonight to see them play the Red Sox. I will be rooting for the home team but a little bit of me smiles when I see the Sawx play!

I am back from Las Vegas, tanned but not relaxed. I am tired and jet lagged and glad to be home with my family safe and sound.
 
This week is being spent in preparation for the amateur draft. Our scouts work all year long for this one weekend and they are all in and getting ready for the festivities in Montreal. I won’t be attending the event this year but will have a good handle on what George and Ross hope to get done.
